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.
OCR for receipts 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.
The process starts with the digitization of receipts to retrieve the information on them. Usually by taking a photo on a phone app, or an image from a scanner. Part of this step is pre-processing the image to make it easily readable.
The best receipt OCR software uses an API to capture the information and get it to the OCR engine. An intelligent API will use machine learning and deep learning. These AI technologies can achieve higher accuracy if the receipt scanner accurately retrieves the text data. This stage is also known as “fetch” in an OCR pipeline.
Multiple OCR models carry out receipt reading in real-time, to check line item data recognition accuracy. AI plays a major role to ensure quick and accurate receipt data extraction has been captured.
The parse includes categorizing currencies, languages, receipt formats and the line item units, amounts and totals. Only an OCR tool with skillfull machine learning engineers can achieve results above 90%. This 2nd stage of OCR pipelining is known as “decode”.
The extracted details are sorted into structured data. Such as extracting the total amount, date, and items purchased. Deep learning AI assists rounding errors handling. Such as correcting for geo-specific tax, discounts from sales or loyalty rewards schemes, and extra costs like credit card fees.
The receipt processing API sends the validated totals and other data back to the software application. Multi-language, multi-currency API solutions improve as the developer adds customer regional configs to tweak the integration.
The 3rd stage of the OCR pipeline is known as “execute”. All 3 stages work in real time, with buffering holding data as required. A lightweight OCR engine lessens the CPU load, utilizing tools like the cloud to boost efficiency.
