How should I take photos for best results?

For optimal OCR accuracy, follow these photo guidelines:

Lighting & Environment:

• Take photos in bright, natural light or well-lit indoor areas
• Avoid shadows, glare, and reflections on the receipt

Document Preparation:

• Keep receipts flat and uncrumpled
• If the receipt is crumpled, smooth the receipt as much as possible
• Ensure all important information is clearly visible

Photo Technique:

• Hold your phone steady and parallel to the receipt
• Ensure the entire receipt is visible in the frame
• Keep the camera at a 90-degree angle to avoid distortion
• Fill the frame with the receipt (minimize background)
