Cashflow Management System using OCR

Inspiration

The existing cashflow system was very irritating to input the data every time a bill was generated, so we planned to make this project in order to quicken the process.

What it does

It takes bill image as input and converts the data extracted by OCR in readable format and processes it and saves it in database for further analysis. The saved data can be visualised in the form of graphs and pie charts

How we built it

• Webserver: Django
• Api: Django REST
• OCR pytesseract
• Chart.js

Challenges we ran into

Cleaning the data received by OCR and distinguishing the price from the bills out of other various numbers present on the bill.

What we learned

OCR and django REST

What's next for Cashflow Management System using OCR
