Receipt OCR for Expense Tracking

Turn a receipt photo into text for expense tracking. This receipt OCR example submits one receipt image URL and returns the merchant, line items, and totals as searchable text with a word count. Point it at your own receipt photos to skip manual entry into a spreadsheet or expense app. Runs in under a second with no browser, so weekly expense batches stay fast and cheap.
