Extract the essentials
Merchant, date, subtotal, tax, total, and line items can be pulled from a clear receipt image.
Paper receipt. Useful expense.
Photograph a receipt, let Monetor extract its structure, then confirm the details before the expense enters your month.
What the scanner does
It drafts. You decide.
Receipt OCR turns visual text into editable fields. Monetor can identify the merchant, purchase date, total, tax, and line items when they are legible, then shows the result for confirmation.
Edit the draft
Fix a price, rename an item, choose a category, or change the currency before saving.
Keep the detail
Save the transaction with itemized context instead of reducing every receipt to one unexplained total.
A three-step scan
From camera to category.
Scanning is designed to remove transcription work while keeping the final record under your control.
- 01
Capture a clear image
Flatten the receipt, use even light, keep every edge in frame, and avoid glare across totals or line items.
- 02
Review the OCR result
Compare extracted fields with the receipt. Correct ambiguous characters, currency, quantities, or tax before you continue.
- 03
Save it to the month
Choose the category and save. The expense then contributes to your spending view and analytics like any other transaction.
Groceries, meals, supplies. Without retyping every line.
A receipt scan is useful when a single total hides several categories or when a purchase did not arrive through the Apple Wallet automation. It complements transaction capture; it does not need to replace it.
- Itemized purchases that need more context than a card total
- Cash and physical-card purchases with a paper receipt
- Records you want to verify before adding to the budget
