At the moment, this app allows for photos of receipts, but it’d be great to have an OCR feature or at least a scanning feature like CamScanner does.
If OCR was achievable then showing it like the Flux receipts do would be great

On iPhone at least, with iOS 13, you can scan with the Files App and use that with the transaction.
You could technically do this with Android too, it’s just a faff having to use another app etc
Just looked a bit further into Files and I think it always scans as PDF which is not useable in Monzo as a receipt?
When I was at Cambridge, some of my friends built this: https://devpost.com/software/indisposed-desirable-javalina
It unfortunately doesn’t do OCR to add proper text to the PDF, although it does produce a nice clean scan you can run through another tool.
I’m bumping this because I was just about to create my own topic idea for it.
But I just mentioned elsewhere that taking a photo of a receipt in 2023 feels a little bit archaic, OCR is native within the notes app now so surely implementing it into the Monzo app isn’t too far of a stretch?
Also, the option to delete said receipt because at current you can’t delete one once you take a photo of one, so if you take a photo (or future scan maybe) of a wrong receipt, you’re buggered.
