Data extraction from receipt images using optical character recognition
Receipt OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that converts printed or handwritten text on receipts into machine-readable digital data. It uses advanced algorithms to identify and extract key information such as merchant names, dates, amounts, and item descriptions.
It is widely used in industries like retail, finance, and accounting, often integrated into mobile apps and business software for seamless loyalty reward programs, expense management, and recordkeeping.
