Receipt Scanner
Scan Receipts by Photo. No App to Install.
Send a receipt photo to @vustReceiptBot and get merchant, date, total with currency, category and items count. Your first scan is free; after that, scans are included in VUST plans. /month keeps a running total.
Scope
A scan to verify, not a filed accounting record
Every scan carries the same line: this is an AI extraction, verify important amounts, not accounting or tax advice. It's built for turning a photo into structured fields fast — merchant, total, category — not for producing a document that needs to be exact for a tax authority.
See the difference
One photo, structured fields back — the first one free.

Extraction, not filed accounting
AI extraction only
Every scan carries the same disclaimer: verify important amounts, not accounting or tax advice.

Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a receipt with this?
Open @vustReceiptBot in Telegram and send a photo of the receipt — that's the whole flow. No form to fill in first, no receipt-type selector. The scan returns merchant, date, total + currency, category and items count directly in the chat.
Is the receipt scanner free?
Your first scan is free; after that, scans are included in VUST plans. A photo that is not a receipt, or an extraction that fails on our side, never costs anything.
What does a single scan actually return?
Merchant name, date, total with its currency, a spending category, how many items were on the receipt, and a confidence line — plus a standing disclaimer that this is an AI extraction to verify, not accounting or tax advice.
Can I scan receipts in bad lighting or at an angle?
The scanner accepts real-world photos rather than requiring a document scan. A slight angle or faded thermal print may reduce confidence, while a blurry or unreadable photo can fail extraction, and a failed extraction costs nothing.
Does scanning build up a spending total over time?
Yes — /month sums the current calendar month's scans into per-currency totals plus your top-3 spending categories, so repeat scanning compounds into a running picture rather than staying a one-off lookup.
Do I need to install anything to scan receipts?
No — it runs entirely inside Telegram, an app you likely already have. There's no separate receipt-scanning app to download, no account to create beyond starting the chat.
