android phone receipt scanning software?
Looking for a decent, easy to use receipt scanning app that won't inundate me with ads. Not adverse to spending a few bucks on it as long as I can try it out first. Want to be able to scan a receipt, save it as a jpg or pdf. Maybe some basic organization. All my trips are a week or less at this time. Local storage is fine, I can push them up to dropbox. But not adverse to a cloud-based storage paradigm, either.
Oh; if there's a version of the same thing that I can use with a webcam built into my laptop, that's a bonus...
Anyone run across anything they really like (or dislike)?
Thanks!!!
Charlie

I did try camscanner on a recommendation. Too many ads for my taste. And it was not very clear; very difficult to get a good photo. I tried google drive and it seems to work very easily and well. I might stick with that for a bit unless and until I find something better. Wish google drive worked on a PC with a webcam, though. For some reason they only port their "scan" function to the phones. I can take a photo of the receipt and edit/save it from the laptop, but it's not as simple as using the phone...

Use Smart Receipts. Amazing product. I could change how it would export my reports with the columns and such so that I could export from there and literally copy paste to my companies form. Saves a huige amount of time. Free has ads, pro is worth it. I'd buy pro twice (just to support the awesome product). Everything you need, nothing you don't

Genius Scan
I have used Genius Scan on the iDevice and then moved over to KitKat and used it there. For android I have been using the free version (with the standard bottom banner advert) and it works fine for me. I put them in a PDF and have the app send to Dropbox (there are other options too). Then pick it up on the PC side for my Expense Report.
Worth a free download to give it a try. They have a paid version as well.

Yup.. I like CamScanner. Great for lots of things. Another tool in the toolbag is ExpressExpense. Nice for receipts for expense reports. If you are using CamScanner - you have to use the Pro version. The free version is just a taste of the real deal.

I use it every week, and submit an expense claim. I think there is a limit to the number of employees that can submit to the same account, but you can submit a claim to your own email address without issues.

Perhaps too many abandoned ship at that point and they reversed their decision. Too late for me, though; I'd already torn down the linkages to my bank and credit card accounts and unsubscribed from their email notifications. I know they need to make a buck, but I have other options that aren't that much more difficult and remain free.
