How to use Receipt Extraction

How to use Receipt Extraction in DataSnipper to automatically extract data such as merchant name, totals, and transaction date from receipts of any layout.

Receipt Extraction automatically extracts data from receipts such as Merchant Name, Totals, and Transaction Date, regardless of layout. It uses OCR to recognize and extract fields, and creates cross-references to the source document in your Excel workbook.
