iPhone, iPad & Android · Receipt scanning
Scan a receipt. Done.
Point your camera at any receipt and PocketTrip reads it on the spot: the amount, merchant, date and category, all filled in for you. There's nothing to type, and nothing gets sent to the cloud. Tap save and you're back to enjoying the trip, with no shoebox of paper waiting for you when you land.
The shoebox problem
Nobody enjoys sorting a fistful of receipts
Every traveller knows the ritual: a jacket pocket stuffed with crumpled till slips, a wallet that won't close, and the vague plan to "sort it all out later." Later never comes. By the time you're home the ink has faded, half the receipts are missing and you have no idea what that €40 cash withdrawal in Seville actually paid for.
Capture it while it's still in your hand
A receipt scanner app only helps if it's quicker than shoving the paper in your bag. PocketTrip is built for that exact moment at the counter: open the app, aim the camera, and the details are read before the receipt printer has even stopped whirring. Keep the paper or bin it. Either way the record is already safe on your phone and counted against your budget.
- Snap a photo instead of typing four fields
- Amount, merchant, date and category read automatically
- Works on paper receipts and on-screen totals
- Handles receipts in other languages and currencies
- Nothing is uploaded, it all happens on your device
How it works
From paper to logged expense in three taps
1
Snap the receipt
Tap the scan button and point your camera at the slip. Steady it for a second and PocketTrip grabs the image. Indoors, in low light, at an angle, it doesn't mind.
2
AI reads it on-device
On-device intelligence pulls out the total, the merchant, the date and a likely category, and drops them into a ready-to-save draft. There's no round trip to a server, so it happens right away.
3
Check and save
Glance over the draft, fix anything that isn't quite right, and tap save. The expense lands in your trip, converted to your home currency and counted against your budget.
On-device by design
Your receipts never leave your phone
Most scanning apps ship your photo off to a cloud OCR service to be read. PocketTrip doesn't. The receipt AI runs on your phone itself (Apple Intelligence on iPhone and iPad, Gemini Nano on supported Android phones), so the image and everything read from it stay with you. A receipt can reveal where you were, when, and what you bought. That's your business, not ours.
✈️
Works fully offline
No signal needed. Scan a whole day's receipts on the plane home and they're read straight away.
🌐
Any language
Reads totals, dates and merchants on receipts in many languages and scripts, from Tokyo to Lisbon.
✏️
You approve every field
Each scan is an editable draft. Correct the merchant, split the total or change the category before saving.
💱
Straight into your budget
Saved expenses convert to your home currency with live rates and count against your daily cap immediately.
☁️
Your own cloud
On iPhone and iPad, trips sync through your own iCloud, so scanned expenses follow you to your iPad. On Android they're backed up to your own Google account. PocketTrip never sees them.
FAQ
Receipt scanning, answered
Is receipt scanning private?
Yes. PocketTrip reads your receipts entirely on-device, using the AI built into your phone: Apple Intelligence on iPhone and iPad, Gemini Nano on Android. The photo and the details it pulls out stay on your device. Nothing gets uploaded to PocketTrip or any third-party server, and there's no cloud OCR service in the loop.
Which phones can scan receipts?
Receipt scanning needs a phone that can run the AI itself. On iPhone and iPad that means a model with Apple Intelligence on iOS 26 or later. On Android, PocketTrip uses Google's ML Kit text recognition together with Gemini Nano, which runs on supported phones such as a recent Pixel or Galaxy flagship. If your Android phone can't run it, the scan button is hidden and you can still add expenses by hand in a few taps.
Does the receipt scanner work offline?
Yes. The scanning runs on your device, so it works with no signal at all: on a plane, in a remote village, or once your foreign SIM has run out of data. Scan a whole stack of receipts offline and the details are filled in right away.
Can it read foreign-language receipts?
Yes. The scanner recognises numbers, dates and merchant names on receipts in many languages and alphabets, so a till slip from Tokyo, Lisbon or Marrakech is read just as easily as one from home. You can always review and tweak any field before saving.
How accurate is the receipt scanner?
It reliably picks up the total, merchant and date on clear, well-lit receipts, and suggests a category based on the merchant. Crumpled or faded slips are harder, so every scan lands in an editable draft where you can correct anything before it's saved to your trip.
