How does Traty read a receipt?
You photograph it. The total, the date and the currency are read on the phone itself. The list of items is read by a model on our server — that is the only reason the photograph leaves the device. A very long receipt is cut into strips and read piece by piece, and still counts as one reading.
Is my receipt photo stored anywhere?
No. The photograph is sent to be read and is not kept afterwards. If you would rather nothing left the phone at all, turn recognition off in the settings: manual entry, history, categories, breakdowns and the widget keep working exactly as before.
Is it really free?
Typing receipts in by hand, editing them, your whole history, categories, breakdowns, price history and the home-screen widget are free and unlimited, for as long as you use the app. Only reading a photograph costs money per receipt, so the free tier includes five readings, and a subscription is $4.99 a month after that.
What if the model gets a line wrong?
Fix it. Every field is editable in two taps — name, price, quantity, category — and the app warns you when the lines stop adding up to the printed total, so a misread number is caught rather than quietly folded into your month.
Can my family share one subscription?
Yes. A subscriber creates a household and invites up to four people; joining is free. Everyone sees the same receipts and draws on the same monthly allowance, so a family of five needs one subscription rather than five.
Which languages and currencies does it handle?
The app speaks English, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian, and reads receipts in the currency printed on them, so a holiday receipt does not quietly turn into your home money.
Which phones does it run on?
Android, from Google Play. There is no iPhone version yet.
