Parsed Text Algorithm

[jenesh]

🎯 Objective 🎯

Create a function which takes in the parsed text from the image and returns an object placing the correct values in their respective keys.

• **Input -> Parsed text (string) & **
• Output -> JS object (object)

🤔 Assumptions 🤔

1. All currency is in USD($)
   • So price can be stored as numbers
2. Receipt items and its details are all in one row
3. Categories can be ignored for now
4. Receipt items each have:
   • Name
   • Quantity (or maybe repeated multiple times on the receipt)
   • Price (Unit/ total price)
   • UPC/Item number (optional)
5. Subtotal of the items (can also be verified with the total sum of all the individual items)
   • If totals don't match account for the difference as tax as long as it is at a reasonable percentage of the item/receipt total

📝 Note 📝

• Priority is food items
• Store name and address can be ignored for now (user can input them manually)
  • Store name and address can be verified and cross referenced through external api
• Aim for 80% accuracy since 100% might not be possible and/or time consuming
