Upload a receipt photo
No receipt handy? Try a sample: invented receipts, already read, so they cost nothing.
Turn the receipt upright, then crop to it. Upright photos read far better, and cropping out the table keeps the text large enough to read — especially on long receipts.
Receipt Relay reads till receipts, invoices, tickets and card slips: something that shows a purchase and what it cost.
Private by design. Photos are never stored. Card numbers are cut to the last four digits before you see them, and the model runs only on hosts that keep no data. Sending an email is invite-only; downloads are open to everyone.

Read: one photo, two model calls
Your photo is shrunk in the browser (to about 2 megapixels) and sent to a vision model, Qwen3-VL 235B via OpenRouter, routed only to providers that keep no data. It was chosen in a measured bake-off on 14 real receipts. The first call returns the order as structured data; a second, separate call copies the receipt line by line for the Paper template.

Check: a strict schema, and you
The model must answer in a fixed JSON schema based on schema.org's
Order: every field present,nullwhen it isn't printed. It also lists the fields it's unsure of, and those are highlighted for you. Before anything reaches the page, the server masks card numbers and, unless you ask to keep them, drops staff names.{ "merchant": { "name": "Juniper & Ash Coffee", … }, "orderedItem": [{ "name": "Oat Latte 12oz", "quantity": 2, "lineTotal": 10.50 }, …], "total": 19.50, "lowConfidence": [] } -
Send: a real email, built like one
The checked data fills a hand-written email template based on the ACORN framework. It uses tables and inline styles so Outlook keeps up, has dark-mode rules and a plain-text part, and escapes every value. Download it as

This server keeps no photos and no receipt content, only call counts and timings for rate limits. Emails you choose to send pass through the mail service, Resend.
