An app to help you split individual receipts with a bunch of people:

https://demo.snapreceipts.fyi/

Mainly used by my friends right after we have a group lunch or dinner. You just upload a pic of the receipt after a meal and it parses out the items. We assign who got what and it calculates who owes what.

Makes the receipt splitting part super easy.

I just tried it and I really like it! Do you think it’s gonna stay free?

I just use free API keys and limit my hosting costs right now. I could keep it free for several months but if my users run into usage limits, I'd request financial help to keep the service up. I really dont want an app like this to be expensive.

Please DM me at my email: archit72<at>gmail if you run into rate limits or want more usage! I'd be happy to help you.

How is the text extraction done? Tesseract?

I just use an LLM with a prompt (pls dont hate). Found tesseract to be very bad for text extraction.
