Receipts & Documents

Receipt Scanner

The Receipt Scanner reads a paper receipt with your camera, finds the line items and prices, and saves the ones you pick as expenses. Text recognition runs on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded.

Open the scanner

• From a wallet: open the wallet's Expenses and tap the receipt scan icon in the toolbar. Items are saved to that wallet.
• From the menu: tap Receipt Scanner, then pick a Personal or Business wallet.

The first time, iOS asks for permission to use the camera.

Scan a receipt

1. Tap Scan Receipt.
2. Point the camera at the receipt. The scanner captures the page automatically, or you can tap the shutter. You can scan several pages.
3. Tap Save in the camera view.
4. Fen shows the items it found on the Review screen.
5. Tap each item you want to keep. Selected items have a blue outline.
6. Tap Save Selected Items.

Fen saves each selected item as an expense and saves the receipt image to the Document Locker as "Receipt from Unknown Merchant."

Check scanned expenses

The scanner reads item names and prices. It skips lines such as totals, tax and card details. Every saved item gets:

• Merchant: "Unknown Merchant"
• Date: today
• Category: Uncategorized Expense
• Quantity: 1

Open the wallet's expenses afterward to fix the merchant, date and category, and to check each name and price.

TIP

For best results, scan in good light, on a flat surface with a contrasting background, and hold the phone steady. Fold long receipts into sections. Tap the info button on the Review screen for more tips.

Document Locker

The Document Locker keeps images of receipts, statements and other papers. Open the menu and tap Document Locker.

Documents are grouped by the month you added them, newest first.

Add a document

1. Tap the ... button in the top right.
2. Choose Scan Document to use the camera, or Import Photo to pick an image from your photo library.

A multi-page scan is saved as one document per page.

View, rename, share or delete

• View: tap a document to see it full size. Tap Done to close it.
• Rename: long-press a document and tap Rename.
• Delete: long-press a document and tap Delete, then confirm.
• Share or delete several: tap ... > Select Items, tap the documents, then tap the share or trash button. Tap Done when you're finished.

WARNING

The full-size image stays only on the device where you added it. With iCloud sync on, your other devices get the document's name, date and a small thumbnail, but can't open the full image. See Privacy & Data.
