Receipt OCR that actually understands receipts
Most free receipt-to-Excel tools dump raw OCR text into a single column and let you sort it out. ExcelMaster.ai's pipeline uses Aspose.OCR for character recognition, then runs a second AI calibration pass that pulls out merchant, date, total, tax, tip, line items, payment method, and currency into structured Excel cells. We handle Chinese fapiao (ๅขๅผ็จไธ็จ / ๆฎ้ / ็ตๅญๅ็ฅจ) as a first-class case, automatic currency normalisation across 15 ISO 4217 codes, and the industry-blank scenario of multiple receipts in one photograph (auto-split into separate rows).
Every field your expense report needs
Merchant + address + phone
Pulled from the receipt header โ for both English-script and CJK merchants. Full company name for fapiao.
Date + time + payment
ISO 8601 dates, 24-hour time, last-4-digit-masked card numbers.
Subtotal ยท tax ยท tip ยท total
All four lines extracted as real numbers, ready to SUM and pivot in Excel.
Item-level detail
Each line on the receipt becomes a row: name, quantity, unit price, line total. Order preserved.
Multi-currency normalisation
USD / EUR / JPY / CNY / KRW / BRL / GBP / AUD / CAD / CHF / INR / HKD / SGD / MXN / TRY supported. One target currency per export.
Expense category inference
Food & Beverage / Travel / Lodging / Fuel / Office / Entertainment / Healthcare / Tax Invoice โ auto-tagged for downstream pivot tables.

Why ExcelMaster outperforms popular alternatives
Multi-receipt photo
Industry-wide blank โ most tools accept one receipt per upload. Our prompt detects merchant transitions and splits them.
Chinese fapiao first-class
Tax registration code (็บณ็จไบบ่ฏๅซๅท), 13/9/6/0% rate awareness, automatic Tax Invoice category. Most Western tools fail on fapiao.
AI calibration over raw OCR
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (or kimi-k2.6 for zh-* receipts) re-extracts numbers and dates, catching OCR confusions like 'O' vs '0'.
Multi-currency normalisation
15 ISO 4217 codes auto-converted to your reporting currency. FX snapshot date surfaced in the workbook footer for audit.
PWA mobile capture
Use your phone camera directly โ no app install. iPhone HEIC works without conversion.
Always returns a workbook
Even if our LLM is rate-limited, you still get a regex-scaffolded Excel โ no hard errors mid-pipeline.

Is this really free?
Yes โ no signup, no payment, no daily cap for the first beta. We run on the same backend that powers ExcelMaster's paid AI add-in for Excel.
What file types do you accept?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone), WebP, TIFF, BMP, and single-page PDF receipts. Up to 25 MB per file, up to 10 files at once.
How accurate is the extraction?
Industry-standard OCR + a Claude Sonnet 4.6 calibration pass. Field-level accuracy depends on the receipt โ printed thermal receipts under good light score 95%+; faded carbon copies score lower. We never claim 100% โ bring a phone-camera shot under decent light.
Do you store my receipts?
Original photo files are auto-deleted from our servers within 24 hours. Extracted JSON is held only for the active session. We do not train models on user receipts.
How does multi-receipt mode work?
When the OCR text contains multiple merchant headers / page breaks / 'Thank you' transitions, the AI splits the result into separate rows in the Excel. One photo of three receipts becomes three rows.
Why is fapiao support a big deal?
Chinese ๅขๅผ็จๅ็ฅจ / ๆฎ้ๅ็ฅจ / ็ตๅญๅ็ฅจ has unique fields (ๅผ็ฅจๆน / ้ๅฎๆน / ็บณ็จไบบ่ฏๅซๅท / ๆ ก้ช็ ) and tax rates (13/9/6/0%) that Western tools either ignore or get wrong. We treat fapiao as first-class with a dedicated prompt + currency lock to CNY.
What currencies are supported for normalisation?
USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, KRW, BRL, AUD, CAD, CHF, INR, HKD, SGD, MXN, TRY. The FX snapshot date is recorded in the workbook footer; for trading-day rates plug in your own FX feed.
Can I edit the extracted data before downloading?
Coming in Sprint A.5 (next 2 weeks). Right now you get a downloadable .xlsx; cell-level editing in the result page is on the roadmap.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes โ the upload box accepts your phone camera directly. On iOS the page uses the native HEIC pipeline; on Android the photo upload stays JPG.
Is my data sent overseas?
ExcelMaster.ai's tools-api runs on EU infrastructure. The AI calibration step calls our LLM proxy, which routes to Anthropic / OpenAI-compatible providers per locale. We do not advertise 'data never leaves your computer' โ that would be misleading; the pipeline does upload to our servers.
What if the LLM returns garbage?
Our pipeline always emits a downloadable Excel โ even if the AI step fails, a regex scaffold (total + date + merchant) gives you a usable starting point. The result page flags 'degraded' mode so you know to verify.
Will the Excel I download work in ExcelMaster Add-in?
Yes โ and the Add-in adds full expense report automation (auto-categorise, monthly P&L pivot, VAT-ready summaries). One-click import is on the result page after download.
