Data extraction from receipt images using optical character recognition
Receipt OCR technology converts printed or handwritten text on receipts into machine-readable digital data. Advanced AI algorithms identify and extract key information such as merchant names, dates, amounts, and item descriptions.
Receipt OCR is widely used in industries like retail, finance, and accounting. Often an API is integrated into mobile apps and business software. For seamless loyalty reward programs, expense management, and record keeping. It can be broken down into 3 stages:
The digitization of receipts, usually by taking a photo on a phone. An API captures the information in an app or software, sending it to the OCR engine.
Multiple OCR models carry out receipt reading to check line item recognition. AI plays a role to ensure quick and accurate receipt data extraction has been captured. There is a lot of complicated work done during the parse. Dealing with different currencies, languages, receipt formats and the line item units, amounts and totals. Only an OCR tool with excellent machine learning engineers will achieve results above 90%.
Finally the extracted details are sorted into structured data, such as extracting the total amount, date, and items purchased. Processing the data completes when delivered back through an API with validated totals. Deep learning AI assists rounding errors handling. Which is correcting for discounts, tax and extra fees.
