Receipt OCR Guide

Monetro uses AI-powered OCR to scan and categorize expense receipts automatically.

How It Works

  1. Upload a receipt photo (camera on mobile or file upload)
  2. AI extracts: date, vendor, amount, tax rate
  3. Receipt is auto-categorized to an SKR04 account
  4. Input tax (Vorsteuer) is calculated automatically

POST /api/receipts
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
