OCR for photos and scans
JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP, and PDF receipts are processed with Tesseract so store names and totals become searchable.
Receipts · private receipt organizer
Stop keeping receipts in a shoebox.
Receipts fade, get lost, and are always needed at the worst time: returns, warranty claims, expense reports, and taxes. Photograph or scan them into DocManFu and they become searchable text.
The problem
Why receipts get out of hand
- Thermal paper receipts fade within months
- Email receipts are scattered across inboxes
- Finding proof of purchase for a warranty claim is painful
A better system
Tips for organizing receipts
- 1Scan thermal receipts quickly before they fade
- 2Tag big purchases with 'warranty' so they are easy to find later
- 3Save email receipts as PDF and drop them into the upload page
Scanner folder automation
Point a scanner at a folder and the DocManFu CLI watcher uploads new files automatically.
Tags for anything
Tag receipts as business, household, returnable, or warranty and filter instantly.
Questions
Receipts in DocManFu
Can I upload receipts from my phone?
Yes. DocManFu's web interface works in mobile browsers, so you can upload photos of receipts directly.
Does it extract line items?
OCR makes the full receipt text searchable. AI analysis can suggest names, tags, and metadata, but DocManFu is not an expense-report tool.
