Since my version of MyExpenses was downloaded from F-droid, I went on to download the OCR reader companion app. Unfortunately the same warning message is displayed every time I try to scan a receipt

I suppose that microg does not implement the feature that mlkit needs from Play Services, i.e. download of the model that it uses for text recognition. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an option to include that model directly into the app. So Google-free phones would need to wait for the planned alternative implementation based on Tesseract.

I am closing this, since a version based on Tesseract is now available.
