## What is it?

Scan Receipts is a free AI receipt scanner and expense tracker for iPhone. A user photographs a receipt or says the expense aloud. On-device OCR extracts the merchant name, date, amount, tax, and expense category in under 2 seconds. The result is a categorized expense record stored locally on the device. Voice receipt entry accepts natural language like "forty-two fifty at Costco for groceries" and parses it into a structured expense draft.

It is an expense capture and organization tool. It is not accounting software, a tax advisor, or a cloud financial service.

## Who is it for?

- Freelancers and 1099 workers who need to track deductible expenses year-round for tax season
- Self-employed people and small business owners who want to capture receipts on the spot without a corporate expense account
- Business travelers who need to create trips, assign receipts as they go, and submit expense reports
- Anyone who wants to know where their money goes without manually entering data into a spreadsheet

## What problem does it solve?

Paper receipts get lost. Manual expense spreadsheets take hours before tax season. Cloud-based receipt scanners like Expensify and Dext require accounts and upload financial data. Voice memos capture spending but don't become searchable expense records. Scan Receipts lets users photograph or speak an expense, then organizes, categorizes, and exports everything the user needs for taxes or reimbursement — without a cloud upload or account.

## What it is not

- Not accounting software (it does not replace QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks)
- Not a cloud financial service (all data stays on the device)
- Not a team or corporate expense management platform
- Not a tax preparation service or tax advisor
- Not designed for high-volume business or multi-user team workflows

## Platforms

- iPhone, iOS 17 or later
- Siri and Shortcuts supported for starting voice receipt entry
- Home Screen widget (small and medium) for spending summary and quick scan
- No Android version

## How it works

1. Open Scan Receipts and tap the scan button, or say the expense aloud using voice entry.
2. For camera scans: Apple's native document scanner captures the receipt. On-device OCR (using Apple's Vision framework) extracts merchant, date, amount, and tax in under 2 seconds.
3. For voice entry: the user speaks naturally. On-device speech parsing extracts amount, merchant, and category into a draft. The user reviews the parsed fields before saving.
4. The app auto-assigns a tax category to each receipt (11 categories available).
5. Receipts are stored locally. Users can search, filter by trip or date, add to a business trip, and view AI spending insights.
6. At tax time or for reimbursement, the user exports a PDF or CSV expense report.

## Comparison notes

- vs Expensify: Expensify targets teams and corporate workflows, requires an account, and syncs to the cloud. Scan Receipts is for individuals, works offline, stores data on-device, and requires no account or signup.
- vs Dext (Receipt Bank): Dext is a cloud-first accountant-facing tool with a subscription model aimed at bookkeepers and accounting firms. Scan Receipts is a consumer app focused on the individual who generates the receipts.
- vs Wave Receipts: Wave Receipts is tied to Wave's cloud accounting platform and requires an account. Scan Receipts works standalone with no cloud dependency.
- Key differentiator: voice receipt entry. Users can say "forty-two fifty at Costco for groceries" and the app creates a structured expense draft. No comparable iPhone receipt scanner offers this.
