Photograph it · keep the numbers
Every bill, receipt and invoice that lands on your desk — handwritten or printed, Arabic or English, neat or crumpled — becomes clean numbers in about fifteen seconds. And it checks the maths for you, so you know which ones to look at and which ones to trust.
Nothing to install. Works from a phone photo, a scan or a PDF.
What was photographed
Written by hand, on ordinary notebook paper, photographed at an angle in poor light.
What came back · 14 seconds later
Every item, quantity and price came through as well — this is only the summary.
How it works
A photo from your phone, a scan, or a PDF from a supplier's email. No special app, no scanner, no flat surface required. Crooked and crumpled is fine.
Vendor, date, invoice number, every line item, the tax and the total — pulled out and then verified: it adds the bill up itself and compares its answer with what's printed.
Straight into your accounting system, your spreadsheet or wherever you keep them — with a note on anything it wasn't sure about, so a person looks only where it matters.
Why it's different
Anything can guess at a number. The difference is knowing which numbers to trust. Every bill is checked before you see it — and when something doesn't hold up, it says so plainly instead of quietly handing you a wrong figure.
Items added up, discount taken off, tax added on — then compared with the printed total. If they disagree, you're told, and the number is left exactly as the bill printed it.
Omani riyals have three decimals, Saudi VAT is 15%, UAE is 5%, and every country writes its tax number differently. It checks against the real rules for the country the bill came from.
If something isn't printed on the bill, it comes back empty — never filled in with a plausible-looking number. Empty means "not on the paper", and you can act on that.
Each value carries how sure it is. Anything shaky is listed by name, so checking a bill takes seconds instead of re-reading the whole thing.
On the handwritten bill above, “39,900” was written in the Omani way. Read carelessly that's thirty-nine thousand riyals. It came back as 39.900 — thirty-nine riyals, nine hundred baisa.
A thousand-fold mistake that a general-purpose reader makes and nobody notices until the books don't balance.
The messy ones
Shop bills written by hand in a notebook. Amounts, dates and tax numbers come through; unclear words are flagged rather than guessed.
The bilingual invoices used across the Gulf, where the same line is printed twice in two directions — read once, correctly.
٣٩٬٩٠٠ is the same number as 39,900. Both are understood, and both come out the same way.
Shadows, glare, a table edge in the corner, the paper not quite flat. Normal photos, not scans.
Previous balance, what you paid, what's new this month, and the meter readings — kept apart instead of jumbled into one total.
A thirty-page order with hundreds of lines is read as one document, and every line tells you which page it came from.
What it costs you
Reading a bill costs about one US cent. A person typing the same bill into a system takes two or three minutes — the comparison isn't close, and the machine doesn't get bored on the fortieth one.
A picture of a wall, a screenshot, a blurry finger over the lens — recognised and turned away before any work is done, so mistakes in the inbox don't cost you anything.
Each bill and its result are kept so they can be checked and corrected later — only you can see them, you can delete any of them, and they are removed automatically after the retention period.
You choose a daily ceiling. It stops at the ceiling rather than running up a bill, and you can see exactly what has been spent at any moment.
The crumpled ones, the handwritten ones, the faded ones in two languages. Those are the ones worth testing — and the only honest way to know whether it works for you.
