OCR extraction

Reading a receipt or bill image into fields (vendor, date, total, tax). The app always shows you the result to confirm before saving.

In Solo Superstars

Available on Expenses › New › Snap and Bills › New › Snap or Upload. Extraction pre-fills the form; nothing is saved until you confirm, even when the confidence is high.

Example

A photo of a $340 supplier invoice fills vendor, date and total; you pick the account and save.

Codes shown are the defaults a new workspace starts with. Yours may be renamed or renumbered — check Accounting › Chart of accounts. See the full default chart.
