While it is a little late to get in on this ZOT, yes, ReceiptWallet does do some OCR on the receipts. The results will vary and recognition gets better as you enter more receipts as it matches off previous receipts.

So… can anyone tell me if this does ANY sort of OCR on your receipts, or do you have to fill in everything yourself?

Thanks for the info. I think I will have to pass on this right now and research it further. We have a pretty good system of keeping track of them and adding scanning to the mix just adds more time right now. Plus I just recently bought Yep which is a PDF organizer which might work just as well with both scanned and online receipts.

It will depend on the store if they’ll take a copy of the receipt. Costco has taken a copy of the receipt (they accept stuff back without the receipt as they just look it up); Staples takes the actual receipt when doing a return, so it is unlikely they’d accept it.

>Will stores accept a printed receipt rather than the original?

That’s a good question, but with the thermal paper and ink that easily rubs off, a printed copy would be better than nothing.

This does sound interesting as we keep all of our receipts. Just not sure about the time it would take to scan them in, but then again it may save me time in finding the recent later when I need it for a return or mail in rebate. Will stores accept a printed receipt rather than the original?

I already use this, and would recommend it to anyone. I use in place of Apples Print->PDF->Web receipts when making online purchases, sure helps keep track of my MacZot purchases. :)

Print->PDF->Receipt Wallet.

As an added bonus, the latest version even “scans” online receipts and extracts data such as vendor and cost which before had to be manually entered.

Recommended buy for anyone in need of receipt management. I use it for both business and personal.
