I want to implement a function for users to scan receipts to get their transactions into my app.
Could someone point me to the right direction?
The term is OCR. You have some plugins in the Bubble marketplace for this, e.g. Free OCR Service Plugin | Bubble.
You essentially extract text from the image and then treat it at will.

Thanks. I figured out it was OCR after doing some research. I’m going to look at the options. Thanks

Hi @sheepherd.co,
For OCR functionality in Bubble, besides the free OCR Service Plugin mentioned, you might want to explore these paid alternatives from Zeroqode that offer more features and accuracy:
- OCR - Convert Images and PDF to Text Plugin
This plugin can handle both images and PDF files, offering robust text extraction and supports multiple file formats. - OCR - Image to Text Plugin
Focused specifically on image-to-text extraction with enhanced accuracy and additional customization options.
These paid plugins often provide better recognition, support for more formats, and enhanced workflow flexibility compared to the free version.
Feel free to check them out if you’re looking for more advanced features!

I need one that will be good for scanning Receipts. Which one do you suggeset?
Numerous options @sheepherd.co
For example:
I saw that but I am looking for a one time payment plugin if possible.
Azure plugin has this option.
What if it’s a QR/Bar code issue instead
or do you mean taking a picture of the reciept rather than scanning a code?
Take a picture of a receipt is what I’m looking for.
Hi @sheepherd.co,
Thank you for the clarification!
In that case, if taking a picture of a receipt and extracting its contents is your main goal, the plugins I mentioned earlier - OCR - Convert Images and PDF to Text and OCR - Image to Text - could be a good fit. They support image-based OCR and offer greater accuracy and format flexibility than most free plugins.
That said, if the free OCR plugin already meets your needs and you’re satisfied with the results, feel free to continue using it.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
