Receipt Scanner

Receipt Scanner turns photos of receipts into clean, editable tables. Snap up to 10 receipts at once; Bum Bum reads them right in your browser and pulls out the vendor, date, line items, tax, and total.

How to use it

  1. Open Receipt Scanner and drop in receipt photos, or pick them from your gallery or camera.
  2. Press Read. The reading happens in your browser, and each receipt becomes its own editable card.
  3. Fix anything it misread. Every field can be edited.
  4. Save cards to your receipt log, download one as a CSV, or download the whole log as one CSV whenever you like.
  5. No receipt handy? Use the sample receipt on the page and watch a full read happen for free.

Good to know

  • Up to 10 receipts in one batch. One action per receipt read.
  • Reading works best with the receipt flat, well lit, and filling the frame.
  • Saving to your log and CSV exports are free.
  • If a photo holds no receipt at all, Bum Bum says so and skips it without charging an action, instead of handing back a blank card.

Your data

Your photos never leave your device. The reading happens in your browser, and only the typed-up numbers are saved, in your account, when you save a card to your log.

Tips

  • Creased receipt? Smooth it flat and shoot from directly above. Shadows across the total are the top cause of a misread.
  • The raw text Bum Bum read is on every card, so you can check a doubtful number against exactly what it saw.

How many receipts can I scan at once? +
