How a scan works, step by step

Free scans on your own device; Premium uses a smarter scan over the internet for the best recognition.

01 / 03

Take photo

Tap the camera button in Okidoky. Your browser asks once for camera access. You can crop the photo yourself first — before anything is sent.

02 · What we read

Everything that's on a receipt

Dutch supermarket and shop receipts have recognisable structures — we extract the six most important fields.

Example

Okidoky Store

22 · 09 · 2026

Groceries€ 12,80
Bread€ 8,45
Other€ 65,50
Total€ 86,75
BTW€ 7,16

We look for "Totaal", "Te betalen", "Total" and variants. Multiple candidates? You get the highest and can pick.

Select a field to highlight it on the receipt.

What happens to your receipt

01Free: everything on your own device

On a free account your receipt is read entirely on your own device. Nothing goes to us, and it even works without internet.

02Premium: smarter scan over the internet

Premium uses a smarter scan over the internet for better recognition. We only read the amount, date and store from your receipt; we don't keep the photo afterwards.

03Saving is optional and safe

If you choose to save the receipt (handy as proof), the photo is stored safely on servers in Europe, accessible only to you.

04You see which way was used

Each scan shows whether the smart scan over the internet or the on-device scan was used.

05 · Practical tips

Get the best recognition

No scan is perfect. A bit of care when taking the photo makes a big difference to recognition.

01

Photograph in daylight or good indoor light

02

Flatten the receipt on a dark surface (table or dark bag)

03

Straight above the receipt — avoid skewed perspectives

04

Full receipt in frame, with some space on all sides

Don't
  • Don't use flash — it often overexposes the text
  • Don't shoot through a plastic bag or receipt plastic
  • No shadow from your hand or phone across the text
  • Don't zoom with the camera — just take the photo closer
06 · FAQ

Questions about scanning

Get in touch
What happens if recognition is wrong?

You always see the result before saving. Not correct? Correct directly in the form (date, amount, store, category). The original photo stays linked, so you always have the raw data for an audit.

Does scanning work on any device?

On anything with a modern browser and camera: iPhone, Android, iPad, laptop with webcam. Minimum requirements are low — if you can take a photo, you can scan. The desktop app can also pick a photo from your files.

Can I scan multiple receipts at once?

Currently one receipt at a time, but you can scan rapidly (recognition starts right after the previous one). Processing a PDF with several receipts in one go is not possible yet.

Is the receipt archive shared with my partner?

In a shared ledger both users see each other's receipts. Every transaction shows who added it, who last edited it, and who uploaded the receipt — so you can always trace who did what.

What if an amount isn't recognised correctly?

No scan is perfect — sometimes something goes wrong. Quickly checking and correcting is always smart. How correction works: • After scan you see a 'confirm' screen with date, amount, store, VAT • Every field is directly editable (tap, type, done) • You optionally add category, note or tag • Only then the transaction saves What goes wrong more often: • Dark/shadowed receipts: amount may miss a digit • Crumpled receipts: date sometimes unreadable • German style with dots and commas (€1.234,56): sometimes read the wrong way around Tip: when in doubt, keep the paper receipt next to your screen during confirmation — 30 extra seconds pays back at VAT filing time.
