    Receipt scanning would make entering transactions so much faster and easier. I read Quickbooks online has a feature to scan receipts. I do not understand why Quicken doesn't have the feature as well.

    Absolutely! Not only would I use this feature daily but having intelligent receipt scanning directly connected to Quicken app would Blow Away your competition. Quite feasible especially now with great AI backends available. Buy a small solution or develop your own. If your marketing folks want a draft business case around this let me know - I’d do that for free just to get you excited about it.

    This feature needs to be added to the mobile app ASAP. Just like when I use SAP Concur to scan my work expense receipt and then it uses OCR to automatically read and extract the data. Please do the same.

    "to itemize" receipts from a scan would seem to require that OCR capability be built into Q, and that doesn't exist.

    Also, you should be aware that bringing attachments in Q causes incredible file bloat and the ONLY way to view those receipts in within Q.

    You'd be better served by getting a PDF management product, scanning into that and referencing the receipt location in the Memo field of the Q transactions.

    For what it is worth, I checked and there are open source/free OCR libraries available like this one.
