Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries regarding our receipt parsing engine.
Q.How does it extract data from faded thermal receipts?
We apply a mathematical thresholding filter using HTML5 Canvas before OCR processing. This dramatically darkens faded text against the background, improving text recognition accuracy.
Q.Can I export my receipts to Excel?
Yes! Once the receipt is parsed, click 'Excel Export' to download a clean .xlsx spreadsheet containing the merchant, date, tax, and total. Perfect for accounting.
Q.Is my financial data secure?
Absolutely. 100% of the scanning and processing happens in your web browser. No receipt photo or extracted data ever leaves your device.
Q.Why is the total amount incorrect?
Receipt formats vary wildly. While our heuristic parser covers many cases, sometimes it fails. This is why we provide editable input fields so you can manually correct amounts before exporting.
