Receipt Capture

Receipt capture means photographing a paper receipt and letting software read the date, vendor, and amount off the picture. The technology underneath is OCR, short for optical character recognition, which just means a computer reading text inside an image. The photo is stored as your proof and the numbers land in your books.
