## What is TipBrain | Tip Calculator?

"Scan the bill, skip the math." TipBrain instantly reads your receipt, auto‑calculates suggested tip amounts and the final total, and warns you if a gratuity/service charge is already included.

How it works
- Open TipBrain and allow camera access. The app shows the camera view.
- Point the camera at the receipt; the app automatically captures and processes the pricing area.
- TipBrain detects subtotal, tax, and total, then auto‑calculates suggested tip amounts and the final total.
- Tap any detected field to edit amounts manually if OCR misreads a line.

Core features
- Auto OCR of subtotal, tax, and total from receipts
- Automatic tip calculation and final amount display

Just scan your receipt( make sure it’s flat and clear), choose the tip percentage you want to leave, and the app instantly gives you the amount. It’s super easy – only one step! No more stress. Highly recommended.
