Storing Receipt Data

Web development course project

Webapp for storing receipts with automated text parsing.

Architecture

• JS+ Bootstrap frontend
  • Pretty minimal animated UI
• Rest api backend with Python using Django Framework
  • Scrapers for the Receipts
  • Tesseract for OCR
• Sqlite database

Module seperation is pretty good in both backend and frontend.

How to Build and Run

• Clone or download this repo.
• Install tesseract and Django
• Run python3 manage.py runserver
• Open the page in a browser:
  http://localhost:8000/

Accuracy Issue

• Since the OCR doesn't have 100% accuracy, an edit button can be used to correct the information that is extracted by the OCR.
