Invoice and Receipt OCR — Extract Text from Bills

Digitize invoices, receipts, and bills by extracting their text. Turn paper and PDF bills into editable text for bookkeeping and expense records — images are deleted right after recognition.

Extract Text Free

Key features

Digitize paper bills

Photograph or scan invoices and receipts, then extract the text for expense reports and accounting — no manual retyping of every line.

Capture amounts, dates, and items

Recognizes the printed text on bills — vendor names, dates, line items, and totals — so you can copy them straight into your records.

Batch process expenses

Upload several bills at once for batch recognition, then export all the text together as a ZIP for easy filing.

Financial data stays private

Invoices are recognized by the server-side engine and automatically deleted once done. Amounts, account numbers and signatures are never stored.

How to use

  1. Photograph or scan the bill

    Capture a clear, well-lit image of the invoice or receipt. Flatten crumpled paper and fill the frame with the text.

  2. Upload and recognize

    Drag the image in and start recognition. Automatic enhancement handles faint thermal-printer receipts.

  3. Copy the text to your records

    Review the recognized text, copy the amounts and dates you need, or export the full text as a TXT file.

FAQ

Can it automatically parse fields like total and tax?

It extracts the printed text on the bill. It does not auto-categorize fields, but the recognized text lets you copy amounts, dates, and line items quickly into your own template.

Does it work on thermal receipts?

Yes, but thermal paper fades and prints lightly. Automatic image enhancement and good lighting give the best accuracy on faint receipts.

Can I process many receipts at once?

Yes. Upload multiple bills for batch recognition and export every result together as a ZIP file for expense filing.

Are my bills uploaded?

Yes — images are uploaded to the server-side engine, then automatically deleted right after recognition and never stored.

What languages do bills support?

Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. Choose the language that matches the bill.
