An app to track your groceries, to save money and eat healthy.
I think healthiest food is cooked at home and people are eating out and doing takeaways . So I am planning to build tools and features which help people to cook more at home.
So far, I have collected over 500 receipts from around 10 countries with 30 different supermarkets in 5 different languages.
What has worked for me so far is having control over OCR and processing (for formatting/structuring) separately. I don't have the figures to provide a cost structure, but I'm looking for other solutions to improve both speed and accuracy. Also, I need to figure out a way to put a metric around accuracy. I will definitely give this a shot. Thanks a lot.

IMO, comments with an upvote are the most powerful feature of such a system.
