How BillTrack splits your receipt

From photo to fair split in under 60 seconds.

01

Upload Your Receipt

Take a photo with your smartphone or upload an image or PDF from any device. BillTrack accepts JPEG, PNG, and PDF from any restaurant, grocery store, hotel, or merchant.

  • Use your phone camera directly in the browser β€” no app needed
  • Upload from your photo library or file system
  • Works with printed receipts, digital receipts, and screenshots
  • Clearer photos produce better results, but low quality works too

πŸ’‘ Tip: For best results: lay the receipt flat and ensure it's fully in frame.

02

BillTrack Reads Everything

The moment you upload, BillTrack reads the text on the receipt and understands its structure β€” identifying item names, quantities, prices, subtotals, tax lines, and tip. Automatically.

  • Converts the receipt image to structured data instantly
  • Identifies each element: item, price, tax, tip
  • Subtotals, taxes, and tips are automatically detected
  • Process takes under 10 seconds for most receipts

πŸ’‘ Tip: BillTrack handles receipts in multiple languages and different currency formats.

03

Review and Assign Items

You see a clean list of every item. Add the names of everyone splitting the bill, then assign each item to the person who ordered it. Or split everything evenly.

  • Add as many people as you need
  • Assign items by tapping or clicking on each person
  • Items can be shared between multiple people
  • Manually edit any item before finalizing

πŸ’‘ Tip: Shared appetizers can be split among a subset of the group automatically.

04

Totals update in real time as you assign items. Tax and tip are distributed proportionally. Everyone sees exactly what they owe with a full itemized breakdown.

  • Real-time calculation as you assign items
  • Tax and tip split proportionally (not equally) for fairness
  • Per-person itemized breakdown
  • Share results via link, screenshot, or message

πŸ’‘ Tip: Totals update instantly as you make changes, so you always see an accurate picture.

The technology behind BillTrack

πŸ‘οΈ

OCR Engine

Optical Character Recognition converts your receipt photo into raw text. Our OCR handles various fonts, rotations, and lighting conditions β€” the same technology used by banks and government agencies.

🧠

Language Model

A language model trained on receipt data takes the raw text and understands its structure β€” what's an item name, what's a price, where tax starts, and what's a tip.

⚑

Real-Time Processing

The entire pipeline runs in real time on the cloud. Most receipts are processed in under 10 seconds.

πŸ”

Privacy-First Architecture

Receipt images are sent over HTTPS, processed immediately, and discarded. We don't store your receipt contents or build any profile from them.

Technical questions

What is OCR and how does it work on receipts?

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts images of text into machine-readable text. When you upload a receipt photo, OCR analyzes the pixel patterns to identify characters and words. Modern OCR systems use neural networks trained on millions of text images, achieving high accuracy even on low-quality photos.

How does BillTrack understand receipt structure?

After extracting the raw text, a language model trained on receipt data interprets its structure β€” which text is an item name, which is a price, where the subtotal is, and what counts as tax or tip. This two-step process enables BillTrack to handle the wide variety of receipt formats.

What if an item is misread?

You can manually correct any item before finalizing the split. The item list is fully editable β€” change names, adjust prices, add missing items, or delete incorrectly detected entries.

Does BillTrack work with receipts in other languages?

Yes. The underlying OCR supports dozens of languages, and the system is trained to recognize receipt structures regardless of language.
