SparkReceipt

SparkReceipt captures receipts and invoices from phone scans, connected Gmail, Outlook or IMAP email, and uploads, and reads them with AI to extract merchant names, dates, totals, taxes, currencies and line items. It extracts bank and credit card transactions from connected feeds or uploaded PDF, Excel or CSV statements and matches each line to its receipt, helping identify missing receipts and duplicates. Users can set automations in plain English to categorize recurring expenses, track mileage by GPS or by hand, create expense reports, and export to PDF, Excel or CSV or publish to QuickBooks Online and Xero. The page states it runs on iOS, Android and the web, supports 190 currencies and is used in 175 countries. Accountants can be invited to access the books at no extra seat cost. The page states SparkReceipt does not create or send invoices, run payroll or file tax returns.
