How accurate is the receipt scanning and OCR?

Quick Answer

Receipt 2 meal uses AI vision (Gemini) to read receipt photos and extract product names and quantities. Printed, well-lit receipts are highly accurate, and every scan shows a review screen so you can fix any misread item before import.

Detailed Answer

The scanning engine uses Google Gemini vision to interpret a receipt photo, pulling out product names and quantities even when stores use different layouts. On clean, well-lit printed receipts the extraction is highly accurate.

Because no OCR is perfect, the app shows a review screen after every scan. You can see exactly what was parsed, correct a quantity, rename an item, or delete a line before it is added to your pantry. Nothing reaches your inventory until you confirm it.

If you want guaranteed accuracy, skip the camera entirely. Pasting a plain text list gives 100% precise results because you provide the exact words.

What if the scan gets an item wrong?

You review and edit the parsed items on a screen before they enter your pantry, so mistakes are easy to correct.

Can I skip scanning and just type?

Yes. Pasting a text list gives 100% accuracy because you supply the exact text yourself.
