1. Capture and extract

Keep the record.
Take the next step.
Practical DocScan turns one purchase receipt into a clear, accessible reimbursement-request PDF that you can review, redact, keep locally and share.
Capture a receipt, verify the extracted details, preserve the original and prepare a useful next step.

From paper receipt to reimbursement packet.
The first release focuses on one clear job: capture a receipt, verify its details, preserve the original locally and prepare a reviewable request.
2. Review and retain
Check and correct extracted details. Keep the original receipt intact in local storage; redaction applies to a separate sharing copy.
3. Prepare and share
Set the requested amount and recipient, preview the accessible PDF, choose any redactions and hand it off using your device’s share options.
Practical DocScan is in development for iPhone and Android and is not yet publicly available. Release timing and final features have not been announced.
More ways PDS is planned to help.
The development roadmap extends beyond the first receipt-to-request workflow. The capabilities below are planned work, not features available in the current in-development release; scope and timing may evolve.
Secure document sharing
Share selected records through encrypted links designed to expire or be revoked, with clear recipient access and recovery states.
Shared expense splitting
Allocate shared purchases in exact amounts and prepare separate, reviewable reimbursement requests for each person.
Document packets and tools
Bring related records together, then prepare them with tools such as page merging, extraction, annotation, signatures and redaction.
Expense reports and accounting exports
Review personal expense and job-cost records, then create reconciled, one-way exports for use in separate accounting workflows.
Reminders and record recovery
Return to a relevant record when a next step is due, and use optional, user-controlled backup and restore to help recover records.
Document assistance
Explore optional help organizing or understanding records, with clear data-use choices and user review before action.
Future product areas
Caregiver record coordination is planned as a later personal-product expansion, with subject-scoped records and carefully bounded, revocable helper access. Field evidence and exception workflows are planned as a later business expansion, connecting records of what was ordered, received, used, changed or delivered. Finance assistance is a separate later workstream. These areas require additional research, product decisions and privacy, safety and domain review before development.
Your paperwork.
Your decisions.
Local-first by design
Practical DocScan is designed around on-device ownership of personal records and private originals. Any cloud or AI feature requires its own clear user choice and privacy review.
Useful assistance, with human review
Any future document assistance will be optional, transparent about data use and designed for user review before action.
