the problem

Current apps on the market are clunky and complicated. The most effective apps on the market automatically populate the information for the app's calculator to process by having the user take a picture of the receipt. These apps have a high success rate of recognizing the prices on receipts. However, they have a very low success rate of recognizing the text of the corresponding item, and matching it with the price. This makes the user have to manually enter the information, making it an impractical and time consuming tool.

The Solution

Eliminate the need for the app to pair the item with it's corresponding price. Instead, our App uses the picture of the receipt to highlight the section across from the price. This provides the convenience of calculating the prices, and still allows the user to see which item the price belongs to. This method works with the many different types of receipts printed by the Micros telling system, which is the leading telling system globally.

User interface design and process

First, the user takes a picture of the receipt. The specific API we used to build the app can be found here: https://developers.google.com/vision/text-overview — First, the user takes a picture of the receipt. The specific API we used to build the app can be found here:

After taking a picture of the receipt, Simply add enough colors for each table mate to be designated.  The process begins by automatically highlighting the first item, then moving to the next after a color is chosen for said item. — After taking a picture of the receipt, Simply add enough colors for each table mate to be designated.

what i learned

I had the opportunity to work closely with an android developer. Working with android API's and designing around them gave me excellent insight on how developers work.
