[Feature] QR code scanning #57

Hello. In Slovakia (Central Europe), we have receipts with QR codes. Apps on Google Play can read them and save them. Unfortunately, all of them saves all the data on cloud.

The QR code has all the needed information about what was bought, when and where. I think it would be great to implement such feature for faster and more precise scanning. OCR can miss a letter but QR code can't.

Hey Pheggas,

Thanks for the suggestion, this is an awesome idea and very doable in Receipt Wrangler. I'll add this as a backlog item to be implemented in the future.

Thank you. As the system providing all the info about receipt doesn't have public API, I can actively help you with research on Slovak forums about this topic. Thankfully, there's simple webapp that works with this closed API so we could maybe scrape out the data from website. Or maybe send the receipt ID with POST method and receive a response. I've seen people doing it and it worked flawlessly. Just contact me later on this issue when you'll have time for implementing this feature.
