AI receipt scanning
Take a photo of your receipt or invoice, or upload the file, and Frihet extracts the data with AI so you don't type it by hand. You review and confirm before saving.
How it works
On the Expenses screen there are three ways to capture a receipt:
- Scan Expense: opens the scanner with your device's camera. Point at the receipt, make sure it is legible and capture the photo.
- Upload receipts: choose or drag one or more images or PDFs from your computer or phone.
Captured receipts stay in the capture inbox until you review them. If extraction fails or there is a possible duplicate, Frihet tells you and you can click Enter manually or Resume review.
Data the AI extracts
Frihet tries to recognize:
- Vendor: name of the business that issued the receipt.
- Total amount.
- Date of the transaction.
- Invoice number.
- Tax breakdown: VAT, IGIC or other, if shown.
- Description of the expense.
- IRPF withholding, if the document shows it.
Review and confirm
Before saving, Frihet shows the extracted data in the expense form. You confirm the tax fields: the AI proposes, it does not decide. Edit any field if the reading is wrong (amount misread, wrong category, invoice number not extracted) and save. The original file stays attached to the expense.
Limits by plan
AI scanning depends on your plan. Compare plans and pricing.
| Plan | Scans per month |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Pro | 50 |
| Premium | 200 |
If you run out of scans you can wait until next month, change plan or record the expense manually with Add Manually. Manual entry does not use scans.
Tips for better results
- Good lighting, without shadows or glare.
- The whole receipt inside the frame and at a right angle.
- Supported formats: images and PDF.
Frihet may struggle with very old thermal receipts with faded ink, documents mixing several languages and handwriting. In those cases, fill in the expense manually.
Troubleshooting
The receipt is not detected
Check that it is a real receipt or invoice and not a screenshot. Upload a clearer version or enter the expense manually.
Wrong amount
The AI may have confused taxes with the total. Edit the Amount field before confirming.
Scans ran out
Switch to a higher plan or record the expense manually.
