Receipt scan #454

Closed IamSAB closed 2 days ago

IamSAB commented 1 month ago

Hi, it would be awesome to scan receipts to autofill transactions and add the picture as attachement.

I found a dart project which does something similar: https://github.com/Cheneth/receipt-bubble

Or better use an API: https://ocr.space/receiptscanning

They allow with an key up to 500 requests per day on the free tier

Created also a feature request at the Firefly repo: https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/issues/9304

Hi! What should be accomplished with the recipe scan? The only valuable information would be the total sum, that's probably easier to just type in.

No feedback so far - I feel it is out of scope (no real benefit for a huge effort, OCR isn't easy). If you have a good reason, please let me know!
