**Would PH SMEs invest in an image-to-data extraction tool? (CSV/XLSX/JSON export) ๐ค๐**
I'm currently building a simple tool and wanted to get feedback from business owners, admins, and anyone who deals with a lot of manual encoding.
The idea is to turn photos into usable data ๐ธโก๏ธ๐
You take a picture of a receipt, invoice, form, or even a payment screenshot (GCash, Maya, bank transfer), and the app extracts the details so you can export them to CSV, Excel, JSON, or Markdown โ no more typing everything manually.
Some possible uses Iโm exploring for PH businesses:
โข Encoding receipts for expense tracking ๐งพ
โข Converting supplier invoices into Excel for bookkeeping ๐
โข Digitizing delivery receipts and purchase orders ๐
โข Extracting data from printed or handwritten records โ๏ธ
โข Capturing product lists and prices from in-store photos ๐ช
โข Getting payment details from GCash/Maya screenshots ๐ณ
From my testing so far, accuracy has been solid. My main goal now is to make it as simple and convenient to use as possible for everyday operations.
Iโd really appreciate honest feedback:
โข Do you or your staff manually encode documents like these?
โข What type of documents do you deal with most?
โข Would a tool like this be useful in your workflow?
โข Would you consider paying for something like this monthly? If yes, what price range feels reasonable?
Would love to hear from people in retail, services, distribution, accounting, or admin roles. Thank you! ๐
