Realtime OCR

Declaree makes it easy to extract data from your receipts using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This in-house developed functionality helps automatically fill in the required information for an expense.

How It Works

1. Add a new receipt.

2. Take a photo of the receipt.

3. OCR instantly scans the receipt and extracts the data.

4. A preview of the scanned data is shown on screen.
   

The following details are extracted automatically:

• Date of the receipt

• Currency

• Total amount

• VAT percentage

• VAT amount

Reviewing and Editing Data

• Always review the extracted data to confirm it’s correct.

• Click the green check mark to fill the expense fields with the scanned data.

• Fields that were auto-filled by OCR are shown in blue, so you can easily see what was extracted.

• If some details are missing or incorrect, you can:

  • Retake the photo for better results.

  • Manually edit fields by clicking on them.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the receipt is flat, well-lit, and readable before taking a photo.

• The quality of the scan depends heavily on the quality of the receipt photo.

• OCR is a support tool: it speeds up entry but always requires a final check by the user.
