AI Receipt Scanner
The fastest way to go from a paper receipt to a fair split among friends.
Most bill splitting apps ask you to manually type in every item, price, tax, and tip. That's tedious, error-prone, and takes longer than the meal itself. Split Ease's AI receipt scanner changes the equation entirely: point your phone camera at any receipt, and our machine learning model identifies every line item, its price, tax amounts, and tip in seconds — with 95%+ accuracy across restaurants, grocery stores, bars, and retail shops worldwide.
How the AI receipt scanning works
When you point your camera at a receipt, Split Ease runs a multi-stage recognition pipeline entirely on your device. First, the vision model detects the receipt boundaries and corrects for angle, rotation, and perspective. Then, optical character recognition (OCR) extracts every line of text. Finally, our trained model parses the structured data — distinguishing item names from prices, identifying subtotals, tax lines, tip amounts, and totals.
The entire process takes 2-5 seconds depending on receipt length. Because everything runs on-device, your receipt images are never uploaded to any server — a fundamental privacy advantage over apps that send your data to the cloud for processing.
What types of receipts work
Split Ease's scanner is trained on hundreds of thousands of real-world receipts across dozens of countries and formats. It handles the messy reality of paper receipts — crumpled, faded, partially torn, or printed on thermal paper that's starting to fade.
Restaurants & bars
Itemized dinner checks, bar tabs, cafe receipts — including those with handwritten additions, crossed-out items, or daily specials.
Grocery stores
Long grocery receipts with dozens of items, weighted produce, discounts, and loyalty savings. Perfect for roommates splitting a shared grocery run.
International receipts
Receipts in any language and currency. The AI recognizes price formats across locales — whether it's $12.50, 12,50 EUR, or JPY 1,500.
95%+ accuracy — and easy fixes for the rest
Our scanner achieves over 95% accuracy on clearly printed receipts. For the small percentage of items that might be misread — usually due to poor print quality or unusual formatting — Split Ease makes correction effortless. Tap any item to edit its name or price, swipe to delete, or tap "+" to add a missing item. The goal is simple: even when the AI isn't perfect, you should still finish faster than typing everything manually.
Privacy-first: your receipts stay on your device
Unlike other bill splitting apps that upload your expense data to cloud servers, Split Ease processes everything on-device. Your receipt images are never transmitted, stored, or analyzed by us. This is a deliberate architectural choice — we believe your spending data is private, and we built the entire scanning pipeline to work without an internet connection.
Since all processing happens on your device, your receipt data is never sent to external servers. Scan now, share when you're ready.
Why receipt scanning changes everything
Traditional bill splitting apps like Splitwise require you to manually enter every expense. For a simple dinner with friends, that means typing in each person's items, calculating tax and tip distribution, and hoping nobody makes a mistake. With Split Ease, you skip all of that — scan the receipt, tap to assign items, and the math is done automatically.
The difference is especially dramatic for large groups. A table of 8 friends with 20+ items on the receipt? Manual entry takes 5-10 minutes of tedious work. With Split Ease's scanner, you're done in 15 seconds. That's not an incremental improvement — it's a fundamentally different approach to an everyday problem.
