Parse, add, edit and manage receipts. Keep track of your daily expenses.

Receipt manager

Keep track of your receipt is pretty hard. You need to update the shop names, receipt date and a total of every receipt.

Why do we not use the digital advantage to our advantage? The receipt scanner solves multiple problems. You don't have to keep track of your receipts, you safe (a lot) of time but still, see every important information in a blink of a second.

Getting started

For developers

First, import the project in Android Studio. After, you have to install the flutter plugins. Now, you can build the flutter application using the android studio app.

1. Import project in android studio (and install the flutter plugin)

2. Edit android/app/build.gradle and change

 buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }

To:

 buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }

3. Go to Build/Flutter/Build APK

4. Install the application

For consumers

Download the precombiled binary. Now, install the precompiled binaries at the release page.

Now, you can insert, add and store receipts permanently. If you like to parse the receipt using OCR, you have to do the following.

1. Read the server documentary
2. Clone the image server repository
3. Install the required python dependencies
4. Generate SSL certificates
5. Run the server

In detail

Build and run the image server. You will find instructions in the server repository, or click here. Now, change the server ip. In the application go to Settings/Server/ and edit the server ip.

Architecture

Parsing receipts is not only time consuming, it is moreover a very powerful task. Since mobile devices have a unacceptable performance, the parser uses a (traditional) client server architecture.

How it works

1. The User makes a photo of a receipt
2. The Application upload the receipt to the sever
3. The Sever parses the receipt and send the output (as json response) back to the application
4. The Application store the receipt in a SQL database

Privacy

A lot of companies store and sell your data. This is the main reason why I started this project. I want to control my private data. Since you are hosting your own server, your don't have to worry about that. No third party services are used.
