Booget is an innovative app that combines advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology with LLM (Large Language Models) to transform photos of receipts into organized financial data. This makes managing your expenses fast, accurate, and hassle-free. The processing of each receipt can be divided into two main stages:
1. OCR Analysis – Text Recognition on Receipts
The first step in processing each receipt is using OCR technology to read the content from an image or PDF file. This process involves:
- Text Detection on the Image:
The OCR algorithm identifies text in various parts of the receipt, such as headers, product names, prices, or dates. - Converting Text to Digital Data:
The recognized text is transformed into digital data in a text format that can be further processed. - Handling Multiple Receipt Formats:
Thanks to advanced OCR models, the app can effectively read receipts in different languages, formats, and varying image quality.
👉 User Benefits: Whether you snap a quick photo or upload a scanned receipt, Booget adapts to the image quality to ensure accurate data extraction.
2. Text Analysis Using LLM – Categorization and Intelligent Data Processing
Once the text data is extracted, the app uses LLM models to analyze the receipt’s content. This process consists of several steps:
- Extraction of Key Information:
The model identifies and classifies elements such as product names, their prices, the store name, total amount, dates, and other important details. - Automatic Categorization:
Booget assigns each item on the receipt to the appropriate categories (e.g., sweets, dairy, or pharmaceuticals). The LLM models are trained on large datasets, enabling them to recognize even less typical products and services. - Report Generation:
Based on the collected data, Booget generates clear reports that help you understand your spending patterns.
👉 User Benefits: By leveraging LLM, the app understands the context of the receipt and accurately assigns categories, saving you time and reducing errors.
Security and Privacy
Booget is committed to protecting your privacy. All data is stored locally on your device, and cloud synchronization is optional and only performed with your consent.
To ensure the highest quality of analysis, the OCR and LLM technologies operate outside the app and are managed by specialized third-party companies in text processing and artificial intelligence. However, only the receipt’s content is transmitted—no data that could identify you is shared. In practice, this means:
- Receipt data is analyzed anonymously, with no link to your account or device.
- No personal data is sent or stored on third-party servers.
- Communication between the app and the OCR/LLM servers is secured via encryption, ensuring data protection during transmission.
This allows you to benefit from advanced AI technologies without any concerns about your privacy.
Automatic Categorization
Paragonik przypisuje każdą pozycję z paragonu do odpowiednich kategorii, takich jak słodycze, nabiał czy elektronika. Dzięki zaawansowanym modelom LLM, które Booget assigns each item from your receipt to the appropriate categories, such as sweets, dairy, or electronics. With advanced LLM models trained on extensive datasets, the app can even recognize less typical products and services, ensuring precise classification.
Two-Level Category Structure
- Main Categories:
These represent general groups of expenses, such as Food, Transportation, Entertainment, or Household Maintenance. - Detailed Categories:
These allow for a more precise analysis. For example, within the main category Food, you might have subcategories like dairy, sweets, baked goods, or vegetables.
Category Personalization
The app fully allows you to customize the category structure to suit your needs:
- Adding New Categories:
You can create new main or detailed categories to better reflect your spending habits. - Deleting or Editing Existing Categories:
If a category is no longer needed, you can easily remove or modify it. - Dynamic Learning:
The system remembers your category preferences and automatically applies them in future analyses.
👉 User Benefits: With this flexibility, Booget becomes a tool perfectly tailored to your lifestyle and expense management style. You can analyze your finances broadly (at the main category level) or in detail (at the subcategory level), giving you full control over your expenses.
