Questions about Receipt OCR
What receipt image formats are supported?
You can upload PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP files. Use the original photo when possible instead of a compressed screenshot.
Can receipt OCR read handwritten tips?
It may read a clear handwritten tip or total, but handwriting is less predictable than printed text. Always compare those values with the receipt image.
Does it extract every purchased item?
It can return repeating item rows when the receipt is itemized and legible. Very narrow, faded, or abbreviated lines may need correction.
