OCR Technology?

Idea suggested by Gareth Ricketts 2 months ago

Considering the Bills inbox is makes use of OCR technology, why is it that when creating a bill in the Bills inbox you cannot highlight some text on the images to then copy and paste into the description and line items. Is that something that can easily be switched on as I'm finding this is again slowing down the workflows from which should be a quick process. It should be a case of just copy and paste line items from receipt into the description.

also, why doesn't the camera function give you the option to PDF a document as you're scanning it? I find that just taking a photo of the images aren't very great, at least with other apps and software you can actually select the four corners of a document for example, resize, cut and format? Is there any way that the actual camera capture function can be improved?

Hi Gareth,

Thank you for this, I will pass this feedback onto our Product team for review.

Another issue we're facing with Bills Inbox is sometimes a document is 2 or 3 pages long so we cannot take a photo cleanly of the pages to get into the system. No option to add additional pages.

Again, Google scanning to Drive is perfect for this and feel this should be an option.

Thanks

Hi Gareth,

This something that is already in our backlog and should be looked into as part of a wider project.
