Split the check without doing math at the table: any receipt, any language, every discount taken off. TallyBill turns a photo of your receipt into an itemized list, then lets everyone claim what they ordered. Tap a person, tap their items, and TallyBill works out who owes what — including their share of tax, tip and any discounts. SCAN ANY RECEIPT, IN ANY LANGUAGE Point your camera at the check and TallyBill reads the line items, prices, and totals — whatever language the receipt is printed in. Hebrew, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, French, Thai: the scan handles the script, and item names can be translated into any of 49 languages with one tap so everyone at the table knows what they're paying for. Photograph the whole receipt, top to bottom, so discounts and the printed total are read too. Anything the scan gets wrong, you fix inline before confirming: edit names, prices, quantities and discounts. DISCOUNTS, HANDLED Half-price drinks, 2-for-1, money off one dish: TallyBill reads the discounts on your receipt and takes them off the right items, so nobody pays full price for a half-price beer. Every discounted item shows its old price and its rate, like "50% off", so everyone can see why their share went down. Choose which items a discount applies to, or add your own. Several on one bill? Fine. ASSIGN ITEMS BY PERSON Each person gets a color. Tap to assign a line item to one person, or split it across several. Shared appetizers, a bottle of wine for the table, one person's dessert — all handled. TAX AND TIP THAT ADD UP The tax printed on your receipt is filled in for you. Add the tip right after you scan, as a percentage or as an amount, and TallyBill shares both out in proportion to what each person ordered. If someone wants to tip differently, override just their tip and everyone else stays as they were. SHARE THE BILL Every bill gets a six-character join code. Send it, and other people can open the same bill on their own phone, claim their items, and see their total. CIRCLES Save the groups you split with regularly — roommates, a standing dinner crew, the same four people every Thursday. Add a whole circle to a bill in one tap instead of retyping names, and TallyBill skips anyone already on it. You can link a member to their TallyBill account by email so the bill connects to the right person. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Create a bill, scan it, and split it as a guest. Sign in only if you want your bills saved to history across devices.
