Before you start
You need the latest version of the app and an activated account.Whether the camera opens automatically when you create a new expense is controlled by the setting Open the camera view automatically for new expenses. If it is off, open the camera manually from inside the expense.
How it works
When you point the camera at a receipt, the edges are highlighted with a white outline. If you hold still for a moment, the picture is taken automatically and you feel a short haptic tap. The image is then cropped along the outline and the contrast is boosted so the text is easier to read. You never have to press the shutter yourself, but you can if you want to.Capture a receipt

Capture several receipts in one session
If you need to register a stack of receipts, you can capture up to 20 in the same session and then choose whether they should become one expense or several.Bulk capture is only available when you open the camera from the plus button.
