    I Use Cam Scanner on iPad. Itll turn it into a PDF. I take pics of my receipts and bills with that app and can easily be emailed to anyone. It isnt Free... I believe I pay $7.99 per month.

    Can you, when you take a picture, categorize it?

    Ya i hear ya, I started a thread about software for owner ops. Because old lady on my hass about doing same thing.
    I also use the camscan app, to take pictures and e mail them. Either as a PDF or as the picture.
    However I don't see how this would help you? Come jan your still gonna be adding numbers.
    The number would just come from a screen instead of paper.
    So short of finding a software program. I think the best thing is to just buy a ledger from staples.
    Then once a week or month. Tally up the reciepts and write them down. Keeping the total current?

    Yea I believe it’s easier to add them from a tally on a screen. I’m uncrumpling receipts and trying to decipher some that look like they’ve been in the sun and the ink is missing (which they haven’t)
