Show HN: I Built a Receipt-Image to JSON Converter (+ Line-Items)
Hi HN, I'm proud to show you that I've finally managed to create a Receipt-Image to JSON converter, including line-items!

Over the past 10 years, I have periodically tried (every ~3 years or so) to convert Receipt-Images to JSON. What particularly interested me were the line-items. It began with a Bachelor's project where we wanted to track prices by extracting product prices from line items. However, it was not feasible to ask users to type them all into our platform. I quickly realized this process was way too tedious. Only when taking a picture is all that is required, would such a platform work.

https://www.line-items.com is the standalone product that simply converts receipts to JSON. It's great for accountants but also for anyone building expense tracking tools.

If you want to talk to me personally, send me an email. You can find it on my profile.

Past Attempts:

- 2015: OpenCV + Bounding Boxes

- 2017: Azure Cognitive Services

- 2021: Amazon Textract
