The shoebox, sorted.

Photograph receipts and invoices — faded thermal paper included — and get back vendor, date, line items, subtotal, tax and total, with a suggested expense category per line. Review the flags, not the whole pile.

$5 for 50 pages, and they never expire. No subscription, no seat licences.

Receipts are the least profitable hour of the engagement

Schedule C clients arrive in February with an envelope of crumpled receipts, and someone has to turn that into a categorized expense list. It is low-value, error-prone work that eats time you would rather spend on the return.

Tax Doc Scanner transcribes each receipt literally — every line item as printed — and suggests a category you can accept or change. Totals are read, never added up for you, so what lands in the workpaper is what was on the paper.

Line-item detail

Every line, not just the total

Each receipt comes back as structured line items with quantity and amount, plus the printed subtotal, tax, tip, and total — so splitting a mixed receipt takes seconds.

  • Vendor, date, and payment method
  • Line items with quantities and amounts
  • Printed subtotal, tax, tip, and total kept separate
{ "vendor": "Office Depot", "date": "2025-03-14", "lines": [{"item":"Toner 26A","qty":2,"amount":"118.00"}], "tax": "9.44", "total": "127.44" }
Suggested categories

A category suggestion per line

Each line item carries a suggested expense category (supplies, meals, travel, software…). It's a suggestion you review, not a decision made for you — and it turns sorting into skimming.

  • Per-line category, not per-receipt
  • Easy to override in the CSV
  • Meals and travel flagged for their special rules
Toner 26A → Office supplies Client lunch → Meals (50%) Parking → Travel
Honest about legibility

Faded thermal paper, handled honestly

Thermal receipts fade; photos blur. Rather than inventing a plausible number, an unreadable amount comes back empty with a note so you can check the original once instead of discovering it at review.

  • Unreadable values left blank and flagged
  • Confidence reported on every scan
  • Works from phone photos and scanner PDFs
⚠ total faded: read "4?.17" — left blank, check original.

Frequently asked questions

Can it process a whole batch of receipts at once?

Yes. Upload a batch of images or a multi-page PDF, or photograph receipts one after another from your phone. Each image or PDF page is one page of credit.

Does it total the receipts for me?

Deliberately not. It transcribes the printed totals and flags discrepancies, but it never computes a number you'd rely on — the math stays in your workpaper where you control it. The CSV sums trivially in Excel.

What happens to the receipt images after scanning?

For personal accounts, nothing is kept after the result is returned. Organizations can opt into encrypted storage with per-org keys and a retention window, so client documents stay available to the team for as long as you choose and no longer.
