How AI is used

Tabscanner is a document automation tool designed to convert images of point-of-sale (POS) receipts and certain invoices into machine-readable JSON format. It uses deep learning and neural networks to identify merchant names, dates, taxes, and specific line items.

The tool is built for software developers and businesses that need to integrate receipt scanning into their own applications. It supports a wide range of languages and regional formats via cloud-based access.

Beyond text extraction, the service includes features for purchase validation and duplicate detection to help businesses manage reward schemes or expense reimbursements. The API is designed to be lightweight and integrates with various back-end languages.

Buyers should confirm if their specific document needs are limited to receipts and invoices, as the tool specializes in these formats and may not be suitable for general document parsing. Note that this is an API-first product and requires a back-end server for implementation; it is not designed for direct client-side use in phone apps.
