The Supervision Receipt Scanner is a pocket-sized scanner and finance-oriented organizer that could easily become your personal assistant when it comes to a quick analysis of your budget, your income and expenses. Created by designer Eun-Gyeong Gwon, the product is a most promising idea, as it sports various functions and is extremely easy to use. Thanks to its diminutive size and extreme portability, the Supervision Receipt Scanner can be easily carried by anyone, anywhere, hence its capability to help you in any critical moment.

Such a financial assistant could really come in handy during the holidays, when people are prone to spend way more than they usually do in the rest of the year. Imagine how cool it would be to be able to know how much money you've got and how much you've spent, at any time of the day, and without having to be in front of your computer!

One great feature of this gadget is its capability to scan receipts on the fly. It comes loaded with an OCR (optical character recognition) software, so it will not just keep a picture of your receipt in its memory, but gather the actual data on it and process it. As you'll be scanning more vouchers, the Supervision Receipt Scanner will be able to deliver you critical data on your checkbook, so you can manage your financial resources better (read stop the maniac shopping).

The Supervision Receipt Scanner also doubles its characteristics as a touchscreen, and comes with a stylus for those who like to enter the desired data the old-fashioned way (are touchscreens old-fashioned, already?). There is no word on the capability of the device to connect to a computer.

Yet, if such a feature makes it in the final version, we're certainly looking at a revolutionary way to record your budget diary, and, by all means, such a gadget would be a hit among those who are looking for the easiest way to keep an eye on how much money they spend and how their “income” transforms into “expenses.” Just make sure it scans everything.

We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there.
