Overview

Expense apps and document AI systems are usually trained on clean scans, but users photograph receipts on restaurant tables, in poor light, folded in half or half-faded from thermal paper. Models that work on scans often fail on these photos.

This dataset contains real receipts and printed documents photographed with smartphones under everyday conditions, in Vietnamese and English, with personal and payment details redacted before delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Do the receipts contain personal or payment data?

No. Card numbers, personal names, phone numbers and addresses are redacted, and every image is checked by a person.

Can you provide key-field labels?

Yes. Merchant, date, totals and line items can be labeled on request.

Are these scans or photos?

Photos taken with smartphones in everyday conditions. Clean scans can be added if you need a comparison set.

How does payment work for a bundle?

You pay a 50% deposit at checkout and the balance when we deliver the final bundle. Free sample photos are available above before you order, and the deposit is refunded in full if we cannot deliver the agreed spec.

Why is a bundle so much cheaper per image than a single image?

A bundle is planned and collected as one job, so capture, review and privacy processing cost far less per photo. Single images are priced for buyers who need just a few specific photos.

What is the difference between non-exclusive and Exclusive?

With Research or Commercial we may license the photos collected for your order to other buyers later. With Exclusive they are never licensed to anyone else or added to our catalog.

Can I order a different quantity or extra annotations?

Yes. Request a custom quote with the quantity, annotations and deadline you need. Prices per image fall as quantity grows.

Need a variation?

Different angles, lighting, locations, quantity or labels? Describe it and we reply within 48 hours with matching samples and a quote.
