How Receipt Reader AI Enhances Your YNAB Workflow

If you are a YNAB user, you know how powerful zero-based budgeting can be. But manually entering every transaction from receipts? That is time-consuming and error-prone. Here is how Receipt Reader AI transforms your YNAB experience:

1. Instant Receipt Capture

Simply snap a photo of your receipt with your phone. Our AI extracts all the critical details in seconds:

• Merchant name and location
• Transaction date and time
• Total amount (including tax and tips)
• Line items with individual prices
• Payment method

2. Automatic YNAB Sync

Once authorized, Receipt Reader AI automatically creates transactions in YNAB with:

• Smart Category Mapping: We intelligently suggest YNAB categories based on the merchant and items purchased
• Account Selection: Choose which YNAB account to post the transaction to
• Memo Details: Important receipt details are included in the memo field for future reference
• Real-time Sync: Transactions appear in YNAB within seconds of capturing the receipt

3. Receipt Attachment

Every YNAB transaction created by Receipt Reader AI can include a link to the original receipt image, making it easy to reference the full receipt during tax time or reconciliation.

Save Time: No more manual data entry. Capture receipts in 5 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
