Turn receipts into transactions in seconds
Scan Budget uses OCR + AI to extract line items from receipts, categorize them, and add them to your budget automatically.
Smart OCR
Extracts line items from raw receipt text. Ignores totals like “TOTAL” or “SUBTOTAL” to avoid double counting.
Auto Categorization
Items categorized to your preferred set (e.g., Food, Transport, Utilities). You can customize categories in the app.
Currency & Date
Detects currency codes and dates. Amounts are stored as expenses, rounded for consistency.
How it works
- Open the app and snap a photo of your receipt.
- We run OCR and AI parsing to extract items, categories, currency, and dates.
- Review and confirm. Items are added to your budget instantly.
We never count totals. Only line items are imported to keep your ledger clean.
