Receipt Scanner
What it is
Receipt Scanner captures receipt details in a browser on Android, iOS, and the web. Users photograph or import a receipt, then review editable fields for merchant, date, tax, subtotal, and total before saving. Recognition runs in a WebAssembly OCR engine inside the browser tab. After the app loads once and caches that engine, scanning can work offline. Records can be exported as CSV or JSON. Expense data remains in the browser’s IndexedDB on the device and does not sync between devices. The maker says receipt photos and expense records are not uploaded, although Google Analytics collects limited site-usage data and does not receive receipt content. The free plan costs nothing, with unlimited scans and no account. OCR can misread details, especially merchant names and line items, so every field should be checked. Browser storage may be cleared or evicted, and the maker cannot restore local records.

The verdict
Receipt Scanner is a free, local-first way to capture and export receipt data. Users should review OCR results and export backups because browser storage is not recoverable by the maker.
Who it suits
Receipt Scanner fits personal or internal business expense tracking when users want browser-based capture and local storage. It is not intended as tax, payment, or professional accounting software.
