Its works as follows: a receipt is scanned by a phone camera, preprocessing image. Then the text on the image is recognized, the needed data is selected and saved to database. The application records statistics on expenses received from checks. In this study, the main tasks were implementing a correctly working text recognition algorithm, determining the required data and their distribution. Despite tasks complexity, they have been successfully resolved. Further, the preservation and further storage of this data was implemented.
