What is Tabscanner?

Tabscanner is an API that automatically extracts data from scanned or photographed receipts. Rather than manually typing in line items, amounts, and vendor details, you submit a receipt image and the API returns structured data about purchased items, prices, quantities, and totals. It uses machine learning to handle the variety of receipt formats, fonts, and layouts across different retailers and regions. The service is designed for developers and businesses that need to process receipts at scale, whether for expense management systems, accounting software, financial applications, or corporate reimbursement workflows. It offers a free tier for testing and low-volume use, with paid plans available for higher volume requirements.
