Receipt scanner
Snap a bill. Spendr reads the rest
Spendr's receipt scanner turns a photo into an expense. Send a picture of a shop receipt, a restaurant bill, or a UPI payment screenshot on WhatsApp, and Spendr extracts the merchant and amount and files it for you — no app, no cropping, no typing.
Why scan receipts instead of typing them?
Receipts pile up. Whether it's the kirana slip, the dinner bill, or a UPI confirmation on your screen, manually transferring those numbers into an app is exactly the kind of chore most people skip. The proof of your spending is right there in a photo — so the photo should be enough.
That's the idea behind Spendr's receipt scanner. Instead of reading a bill and re-typing it, you let Spendr read it. The same applies to UPI screenshots, which is how a huge share of payments in India actually happen.
How the receipt scanner works
1. Take or share a photo
Snap a picture of the receipt or open your UPI app and screenshot the payment confirmation. Send it to Spendr on WhatsApp like you'd send any image.
2. Spendr reads the image
Spendr analyses the photo, finds the total amount and the merchant or recipient, and chooses a category based on your preferences. It works with printed receipts and on-screen UPI confirmations alike.
3. Confirm and you're done
Spendr tells you what it logged. If a detail needs changing, reply in the conversation — change merchant to Big Bazaar or that was 1,250 — and it updates instantly.
Made for UPI-first India
Google Pay, PhonePe, and Paytm screenshots are first-class inputs for Spendr. Since these payments don't leave a paper trail, screenshotting and sending them is the simplest way to keep your records complete. Spendr reads the amount and the payee so your UPI spends are captured just like cash or card purchases.
One inbox for every kind of expense
The receipt scanner works hand in hand with Spendr's other inputs. Type a quick line with the WhatsApp expense tracker, speak a voice note, or scan a receipt — whatever is fastest. Everything flows into the same history.
Turn receipts into insight
Scanned expenses appear on your dashboard alongside everything else, with category charts, filters, and month-over-month analysis. Splitting a scanned restaurant bill with friends? Spendr can split the expense and track who owes you, right from the chat.
