Re: [GNC] Receipt scanners and software
If by 'receipt scanners and software' you mean something that can OCR an image of a receipt and magically turn it into a transaction, then the answer is, "None." There is such software out there to allegedly perform such magic (I've never seen it in action) but if it can output either a CSV or something you can convert to CSV, then you can import said result to GnuCash, but there isn't any software I'm aware of that directly adds such OCR capability to GnuCash. - What do you mean by 'barcode access'? What are you trying to do? Regards, Adrien On 1/26/24 10:30 PM, W. Neal Lewis wrote: What receipt scanners and software can be used with GnuCash?

Re: [GNC] Receipt scanners and software
He Neal > What receipt scanners and software can be used with GnuCash? GnuCash is completely agnostic when it comes to scanning, so just use whatever you have, save the images to disc, and link them to your transactions as described in the manual section 6.3 6.3.

Re: [GNC] No suitable backend was found
Thanks for your comments fellas! The problem is resolved. It seems the
problem was the file itself. I opened it with notepad++ and it contained only
"NUL-NUL-NUL..." on the top line. I created a new file and opened it with
notepad++ and that one contained the cryptic characters one might expect from
such a file. So, I searched for another file (named "send"; not sure why I
named it that 8 yrs ago) with same size and date - that file worked. Not sure
why that file was empty; not sure if it was corrupted or I was just opening the
wrong file. thanks!!

I'll echo Adrien's comments regarding your use of a backup.
On the reported problem, I'll note that your book file appears to be on a cloud
drive ("OneDrive") and perhaps your connection to the cloud has been
interrupted? You could test this by copying the data file to a known local
folder on your hard drive...
