More ways to use it
OCR table to Excel: turn a photo or PDF of a table into a spreadsheet
OCR turns a picture of a table into rows and columns. You have a table on paper or in a picture, and you do not want to type it into a spreadsheet cell by cell. abc OCR reads the table on your phone, keeps each cell in its row and column, and saves it as a file you can open in Excel, Google Sheets or LibreOffice.
Offline OCR for Android: image to text without internet
You need the text from a photo or a document, but you have no signal, no mobile data abroad, or you do not want to upload the document. abc OCR recognizes text on your phone with Google ML Kit. It works in airplane mode.

The text you need is in a screenshot, and you cannot select it. abc OCR reads the text in a screenshot on your phone, so you can copy it, edit it or share it. The whole screenshot is kept, from the top edge to the bottom edge.

Write to usQuestions
Does it find the total or the tax for me?
No. The app gives you all the text from the receipt, in the right order. It does not sort it into fields.
Can I get the receipt into Excel?
Copy the text and paste it into a spreadsheet: the gap between an item and its price is a tab, so they go into separate columns. If the app finds a table, you can also save it as CSV, or as XLSX with Premium.
Does it work offline?
Yes, for Latin text (English, Spanish, German, Polish and many more). The document scanner downloads once from Google Play services.
Are my receipts uploaded?
No. The receipt is read on your phone. Google ML Kit sends Google basic diagnostics, such as the device model and error codes, but never your images or text.
Where are my scanned receipts kept?
In the scan list in the app, on your phone. You can name each scan and delete it at any time.
