Receipt Line Item Extraction in 3 Steps

Discover how Klippa’s AI-powered OCR software extracts receipt line items three simple steps. 

Upload your receipts through our receipt OCR API

Upload a photo, PDF or scan your receipts to the receipt OCR API. You can upload receipts via web, FTP, emails or a mobile app.

The receipt can be sent both uncropped (with the background) and cropped (without). If the picture was sent uncropped, our API automatically crops the document for optimal data extraction

Transform image to TXT with receipt line item OCR API

As soon as we receive the picture, PDF or scan, our OCR software will convert it to a TXT file. The software extracts all data from the receipt, but it is not yet structured.

Get JSON output from the receipt line item OCR API

The parser takes the TXT which was extracted by the OCR in the previous step and converts it into JSON, using machine learning algorithms. Then, the JSON is returned as output from the API.

From this point on, you can easily process the receipt in your database.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does receipt line item scanning and extraction work?

An image, pdf or scan of an invoice first needs to be submitted to the invoice OCR API. The OCR API through machine learning algorithms recognizes patterns in the structure and content of the uploaded document and prepares the document for extraction.

Klippa’s software then analyzes the light and dark patterns that make up the letters and numbers to convert the scanned image into text. After that, data fields are identified and extracted from the receipt.

Klippa supports the extraction of line items on receipts using machine learning algorithms. For every line, the quantity, description, price per unit, total price and VAT values are extracted. Optionally, SKUs, weight and size can also be extracted.

After the line item extraction, Klippa’s mobile document scanning software can perform line item classification. Using an additional algorithm, we are able to classify over 20 categories for each line. For example, ‘Food’, ‘Electronics’, ‘Alcohol’ and many other options. 

Based on these categories, we can determine the VAT deductibility, distribute loyalty points and suggest general ledger accounts. This is a perfect solution for accounts payable automation.
