Expenses Made Fun: Expensify Adds Automatic Receipt Scanning [PICS]

Credit:

With the new feature, users can upload photos of receipts via iPhone, Android and BlackBerry apps or via the web to have Expensify scan the receipts' contents and automatically identify merchant info, date and amount.

Scanned receipt data is appended to the entry for each expense, and matched to transaction data imported from the user's credit card or bank account. Scans take about 10 minutes and are stored in the "Receipts" portion of the mobile and web apps. Users can then edit receipt data and add the scanned receipts to their expense reports.

We put the new automatic receipt scanning features to work and found that Expensify delivers exactly what it promises: a simple and (dare we say) fun way to upload, scan and attach receipts to expense reports.

Below is our walk through the process of scanning photo receipts. Will this make you use Expensify? Let us know in the comments.
