## What is Handheld Accountants?

Handheld Accountant your personal digital accountant, makes it easy to scan, organize, and manage your receipts—all from your iPhone.
Capture a receipt with your camera or import one from Photos. Handheld Accountant uses on-device text recognition to extract important details such as the merchant, date, total amount, currency, payment method, and tax information. Review and edit the detected information before saving it.
Organize receipts using separate profiles for personal spending, businesses, projects, or clients. Monthly summaries group spending by currency, so amounts in different currencies are never incorrectly combined.
Key features:
• Scan receipts using your iPhone camera
• Import existing receipt images from Photos
• Automatically extract merchant, date, total, currency, and payment details
• Recognize GST, VAT, and other tax information
• Review and correct extracted information before saving
• Organize receipts with multiple profiles
• View monthly spending totals grouped by currency
• Search receipts by merchant
• Filter receipts by month, year, or custom date range
• View, zoom, and share saved receipt images
• Export receipt records to CSV
• Create and share PDF receipt archives
• All data keep only inside your own devices.
• No account or sign-in required  
Receipt images and records are stored by the app on your device, helping you keep your financial documents organized and accessible.
The free version includes advertising and access to the app’s essential receipt-management features. Upgrade to the Full Version with a one-time purchase to unlock unlimited CSV and PDF exports, receipt archiving, advanced filtering, and an ad-free experience.
