I imagine something like that just returns a big blob of plain text, amirite? Or can you have it return the data to you in a more structured format, with specific fields (key-value pairs) more relevant to a receipt? With this Veryfi API, they are returning JSON with very specific fields (e.g., card number, date, payee, tax, tip, total, even individual receipt lines (including UPCs when avalable), etc.) and it seems to be very accurate so far for me. When I played with other general OCR tools in the past, I remember the OCR itself was only half the battle. Even if you got that accurate, you then had to write regex trying to pull all this other specific info out from that. -- Cheers, TRS-80 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
