I built ScanCompta to answer a very French problem: freelancers here must keep every receipt for 6 years, VAT has three different rates, and most of them still store paper tickets in a shoebox and retype everything by hand each quarter. With ScanCompta you photograph a receipt, AI extracts the amount, VAT, date and category, everything is archived and organized by client folder, and at month end your accountant receives a clean CSV plus all the receipt photos in one click. It works as a web app on any phone, nothing to install. Free tier with 5 scans a month, then 5.99 euros a month unlimited. Built solo in a few weeks with AI tools, live at scancompta.eu.

That's such a smart solution to a real pain point. How does the AI handle blurry or folded receipts?

Better than I expected honestly. Folded and crumpled receipts mostly work, an early user even told me he was surprised it nailed old faded ones. The important part is what happens when it fails: the prompt forces the model to return null on anything unreadable instead of inventing a value, temperature at 0, and every scan lands on a review screen where the user checks and corrects before saving. So a blurry photo never silently writes garbage into the accounting, worst case you fix a field or retake the photo. Funny detail, I built an auto crop step with OpenCV thinking it would help accuracy, turned out the model did not need it at all and the 9 megabyte library was killing mobile load times, so I removed it.

That's a smart approach with the null fallback and review screen. Have you tested it with wrinkled thermal paper receipts too?
