README
# A fuzzy receipt parser written in Python
This is a fuzzy receipt parser written in Python.
It extracts information like the shop, the date, and the total from scanned receipts.
It can work as a standalone script or as part of our [IOS and Android application](https://github.com/ReceiptManager/Application).
## Dependencies
The `receipt-parser-core` library depend on `imagemagick`. Please install `imagemagick`
with your favorite package manager.
## Usage
To convert all images from the `data/img/` folder to text using tesseract and parse the resulting text files, run
```
make run
```
### Docker
A `Dockerfile` is available with all dependencies needed to run the program.
To build the image, run
```
make docker-build
```
To run it on the sample files, try
```
make docker-run
```
By default, running the image will execute the `make run` command. To use with your own images, run the following:
```
docker run -v :/app/data/img mre0/receipt_parser
```
