Telegram invoice scanning for transactions
xpenser added Telegram invoice scanning so users can send invoice images and turn them into transaction data through the bot flow.
The Telegram workflow became more powerful by accepting invoice scans as a transaction capture source.
This release came from PR #27 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.
What changed
- Added invoice image scanning through Telegram.
- Connected scan results to transaction creation behavior.
- Kept the bot workflow aligned with browser transaction scanning.
Why it matters
Many receipts and invoices arrive in chat. Capturing them where they already are reduces the chance that expenses are forgotten.
Where it fits
This expands xpenser capture options across web, mobile, and Telegram workflows.
