You might have heard of receipt data OCR (optical character recognition). You’ve probably heard of EDE (expense data extraction). Two terms that probably don’t come up too often in casual conversation.

Most of us will be able to figure out the latter, extracting data, right? But, the former may, for some, be a little more difficult to get your head around. In fact, an expense data extraction API could be precisely what your business needs and you don’t even know it.

That’s the problem with tech companies these days. Most seem to communicate in jargon. Some find it difficult to communicate with customers exactly what they offer without confusing them. We are not one of these tech companies.

So, let us explain a little about expense data extraction and how a receipt scanning API can help achieve lauded results… in other words why you need the best third-party software to scan and transfer a picture of your receipt to digital format. With us? Okay, let’s continue.

Image Recognition

Okay, let’s say that you want to take a picture of something for reference later. For argument sake, we’ll say that you’re an artist and have been inspired to paint a picturesque landscape. This takes time. Not even Turner could immaculately recreate landscapes in a matter of minutes!

What do you need to paint your own magnum opus? Well, a picture would come in handy, right. This way you can go back to it again and again to get the weather conditions, green hillside tones, undulations, and colour shade of plant life exactly right.

Before you wonder why we’re referencing Turner when talking about receipt data extraction API, hear us out.
