ScanRelief

ScanRelief is the essential desktop tool for Windows and Mac users designed to eliminate the frustration of manual receipt and invoice management. Leveraging the power of OpenAI, it automatically converts disorganized receipt files stored on your local drive into a structured, centralized Excel report while simultaneously renaming the original files for perfect chronological sorting. This solution delivers immediate efficiency gains for small business owners, freelancers, and individuals requiring accurate, effortless expense tracking and tax preparation.

Key Features

ScanRelief provides powerful, automated features that transform how you manage financial documents, turning hours of sorting into minutes of processing.

📄 AI-Powered File Renaming

ScanRelief analyzes receipt images using advanced AI to extract critical details—including the date, total amount, product type, and vendor name. It then renames the files to a standardized format: [Date]-[Amount]-[Product Type]-[Company]. This ensures your entire receipt archive is instantly and perfectly chronologically sortable within Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, eliminating manual data entry and frustrating searches.

📊 Structured Excel Report Generation

Generate a comprehensive, detailed Excel spreadsheet consolidating all processed receipt data. This report provides a single source of truth for your expenses, including key information and categorization, default ordered by date. This structured output drastically simplifies accounting reconciliation and preparation for tax filing.

🚀 High-Efficiency Local Batch Processing

Process entire folders of receipts and invoices at once directly on your local hard drive. ScanRelief supports all common formats, including JPEG, PNG, and HEIC, as well as both image-based and text-based PDFs. The application handles large volumes quickly, saving significant time and effort.

💰 Optimized Pay-Per-Use Cost Model

Unlike high-cost, fixed-fee web services, ScanRelief utilizes a direct pay-per-use model for the necessary OpenAI API access. To maximize efficiency and minimize cost, the system automatically downsizes images to the maximum compatible size (768x2048 pixels) before transfer, resulting in extremely low operational costs—approximately $0.005 per receipt.

Use Cases

ScanRelief is built to deliver tangible value across common financial management challenges.

Streamline Tax Preparation and Auditing

Instead of sifting through hundreds of poorly named files and manually transcribing data, you gain a ready-made, chronologically organized folder of receipts and a corresponding Excel sheet. This consolidated, structured data simplifies expense categorization and makes matching receipts to bank transactions instantaneous, drastically reducing the time spent preparing for quarterly or annual tax submissions.

Enhance Financial Search and Reconciliation

Quickly locate any receipt or invoice using simple file searches. Because files are renamed with the vendor name and amount, you can instantly find a specific transaction—such as all expenses from "Staples" or any receipt over "$200"—directly within your operating system's file browser, making bank statement reconciliation fast and accurate.

Maintain Organized Digital Archives

For users who need to keep digital copies for compliance or personal record-keeping, ScanRelief enforces a rigorous, consistent naming convention. This ensures that even years later, your receipt archive remains clean, searchable, and instantly understandable, providing confidence in your record-keeping practices.

ScanRelief offers compelling advantages over traditional receipt management systems, focusing on cost control, data autonomy, and superior file organization.

• Perpetual Licensing, Not Subscriptions: You purchase a perpetual license for the ScanRelief software, meaning there are no recurring monthly subscription fees. This provides long-term cost predictability and eliminates vendor lock-in.
• Control Over Your Data: Receipts are processed from a folder on your local hard drive (Windows or Mac). You are not required to upload sensitive financial documents to a proprietary web service, enhancing security and data control.
• True Pay-for-What-You-Use AI: By utilizing your own OpenAI API key, you benefit from transparent, low-cost processing. You only pay for the exact resources consumed by the AI, which is optimized by the software to be highly efficient.

Conclusion

ScanRelief delivers professional-grade receipt management efficiency without the burden of monthly subscriptions or complicated cloud interfaces. By combining intelligent file renaming with structured Excel reporting, it provides a clear, cost-effective path to perfect financial organization.
