Have you ever wanted to automatically pull information from receipts (like store names, items, prices, and dates) without typing them manually? In this guide, I’ll show you how to build a tool that does exactly that using LangChain model, and a bit of Python code. No advanced tech skills required — let’s break it down step by step!
Paper receipts are messy. They come in different sizes, formats, and layouts. Manually typing data from them is time-consuming, but AI can help automate this! Imagine snapping a photo of a receipt, uploading it to a folder, and having a tool instantly organize the data into a spreadsheet. This could help with:
- Personal expense tracking
- Business accounting
- Tax preparation
We’ll use AI to read text from receipts, understand it, and structure it — no manual templates needed!
- Input Processing: Handles receipt collection and initial processing through Google Drive
- Processing Pipeline: Converts images to text and validates extracted data
- Storage Layer: Manages data…
