A camera that can scan
So the trouble with the extraction process in many of my cases is that when I take a photo of A4 receipts Dext Prepare can’t recognise the small print due to it being SNAP further away to fit all the important information it. So an idea I put forward is having a scanning feature similar to ‘Adobe Scan’ so you can crop the document and clear any blurriness so recognising the text in the extraction process for A4 documents can be done easy with out manually entering the key information.

In the Mobile App Settings we have added 'Camera Shot Suggestions' with this turned on you can use the functionality to select and crop to to what is needed. We also look to see if it is blurry. See attachment

I agree that Dext would be much better if it would scan rather than take a photo. Apps that scan provide us with a far superior quality to be able to recognise small or faded print on receipts. I use a scanning app instead of Dext because of this.

I have a scanner app on my phone that takes very clear scans of my receipts and crops them so it only shows the receipt - not my table, desk or car seat. I can then forward that image to various apps - but not Dext. Wouldn’t it be nice if Dext had its own scanner instead of just taking photos?
