Do you have any recommendations for OCR of receipts and grocery bills? I’ve dreamt of having a little app to analyse grocery spending and distribute bills among multiple people, but every time I checked, the state of receipt OCR was surprisingly too bad for this…

Last I checked I saw a grocery bill example using https://github.com/mindee/doctr and was fairly accurate. Bear in mind that was last year, hopefully it got even better or there are other libraries
This is a really helpful find thanks.

If there are any other libraries folks have seen out there like this, I’d love to try them out.

The paddlepaddle project has nice models. Not well documented though and can be hard to use, so proceed at your own risk. But it is popular.
i am using epap. It has a pretty good OCR and you can export in CSV. https://apps.apple.com/de/app/epap-kassenbon-haushaltsbuch/i...
