Everyone has the shoebox. Or the drawer, or the glovebox, or the folder on your phone with 200 blurry receipt photos you've been "getting to." Doing them one at a time feels like emptying a bathtub with a spoon, so you don't start — and the pile grows until tax season forces a miserable weekend of it.
Batch scanning is the fix. Instead of one receipt at a time, you hand Voice Money Manager a whole stack of photos at once. It reads all of them in the background while you do something else, then drops them into a review queue you can skim and approve in minutes.
Select many, walk away, come back to a queue
If you already photograph receipts as you go — or your camera roll is quietly full of them — this is the payoff. You don't re-shoot anything. You just pick the ones you want and let the app work through the batch.
- Multi-select — choose dozens of receipt photos from your camera roll in one go.
- Background parsing — the app reads vendor, total, tax, and date on each one while you carry on.
- Review queue — every scanned receipt lands in one list, already filled in and categorized.
- Bulk approve — skim the queue, fix the odd one, and approve the whole batch at once.
How batch scanning works
- Open the Receipts screen and choose the batch or multi-select option.
- Select all the receipt photos you want — a handful or a hundred.
- The app parses them in the background, pulling vendor, total, tax, and date from each.
- Open the review queue, skim the results, correct anything odd, and bulk-approve.
Each individual receipt is read the same careful way a single scan is — if you want the detail on what gets extracted from one receipt, see how it works when you https://voicemoneymanager.aicanadiansolutions.ca/blog/scan-receipts. Batch just does it many at a time.
A real example
Meet Dana, a self-employed graphic designer who is, by her own admission, "not a receipts person." By March she's got 63 receipts backed up — some photographed in the app, most just snapped into her camera roll: co-working day passes, a new monitor, client lunches, software, a conference trip. In previous years this was a lost Saturday of typing.
This year she selects all 63 photos, taps go, and makes tea. By the time she's back, the queue is full: 58 parsed cleanly with vendor, total, and tax already filled in and categorized; 5 flagged where a faded total needed a second look. She fixes those five by tapping the amount, then bulk-approves the lot. Total time: under fifteen minutes for what used to eat an afternoon — and every one has its image attached as proof.
That backlog-to-done sprint is exactly what you want heading into filing. When you're ready to actually file, our https://voicemoneymanager.aicanadiansolutions.ca/tax-season guide walks through turning those cleaned-up receipts into deductions.

Clear your backlogFAQ
How many receipts can I scan at once? You can select a large batch in one go — a handful or a big stack. The app parses them in the background and collects them all in a single review queue for you to approve together.
Do I have to check every one before it's saved? No, but you get the chance to. Everything lands in a review queue already filled in and categorized; you skim it, fix any receipt that didn't read cleanly, and bulk-approve the rest in one action.
Can I use photos already in my camera roll? Yes. You don't have to re-shoot anything — select the receipt photos you've already taken and the app reads them the same way it reads a fresh scan.
