This is a great idea. And OCR should be good enough nowadays to parse the receipts. Probably would work best as a mobile app, though.


Have you looked at receipts? They’re narrow, only do one line per item, and every store prints something different for the same product. It usually includes a store specific sku, the price and some truncated text on that single line. Good luck figuring out exactly what someone purchased from a random receipt.
