Four ways in
- Photos
- Your newest photos and screenshots first. Tap one and Pockito reads it, using the day the picture was taken.
- Camera
- Hold the phone over the receipt. It finds the edges and takes the photo when the paper is steady. You can tap the shutter any time.
- Files
- A photo or a PDF from Files, like an emailed invoice.
- Paste
- Copied a bank text? Paste it here and Pockito reads it like any other capture.
You can also share a picture or a PDF to Pockito from another app. Share several and Pockito reads them one by one, then lets you save all the ready ones at once.
Check the card, then save
- Pick a source. While it reads, card numbers are masked and nothing is saved yet.
- Look at the card. Each value says how sure Pockito is: Read, Remembered, Verified or Needs you.
- Tap any value to change it. On a receipt, open Items: each line keeps its own category.
- Answer what it asks, if anything, like which account or which card.
- Save. The bar shows what was saved, with Undo.
When the card says something else
- Already in Pockito
- Auto-track or an earlier scan already has this purchase. Attach the receipt to it instead, which doesn't use a scan.
- The total is too blurry
- Retake with the bottom of the receipt flat, or type the total on the keypad.
- Nothing to log here
- It wasn't a receipt or a payment. Nothing was saved and no scan was used.
- Read on this phone
- Read without internet. Checked again when you're online.
- This period's scans are used
- They refill when your next period starts. Typing it in is always free.
Questions
What can it read?
Paper receipts, screenshots, bank texts, transfer receipts, payslips, refund slips, bills, ATM slips, wallet screens, chats, handwritten notes and files. See What Scan understands for what each one does.
Does a scan that fails count?
No. If nothing could be read, or it wasn't money, no scan is used.
Where is the receipt photo kept?
On your phone, encrypted, and in your backup. Removing the photo keeps the entry and its items.
