Pro tip: I fed my shop's old receipts into a free OCR model and it caught a $2,300 billing error
I scanned 6 months of crumpled supplier receipts into a free AI tool called Tesseract just to see if it could read my handwriting, and it pulled a line item from a March invoice in Rockford that I'd been overcharged on by $2,300. I only spent 20 minutes setting it up, which was way less time than the 3 weeks I'd spent manually checking those same papers. Has anyone else used OCR stuff on old paperwork, and did it actually catch anything you'd have missed?

That $2,300 catch after only 20 minutes is wild, but I feel you on those 3 weeks of manual checking. I've been there squinting at faded receipts and wondering why I bother. Glad the OCR actually paid off for you instead of just being another tech rabbit hole.
