Abstract

Nowadays student schedules are packed with their academic and curricular activities. Therefore, Students are no longer tracking their expenses because it is so hard to keep track with their expenses when they a have busy life. The aim of this research is to help students easily track their expenses by automating the process of extracting information from receipts. This research presents a student tracking expenses system using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. The method that was used to develop the system was Website Development Life Cycle (WDLC). The system also uses Image Processing that implements OCR into the system. The system has been tested with a set of sample receipts, and the results show that it is able to accurately extract the relevant information with a high level of efficiency. The initial of this research involved designing the system, which was achieved through the creation of a detailed mockup and wireframe to establish a clear vision for its design. Then, it focused on developing the system, incorporating OCR technology to extract text from receipts. Thorough functional testing ensured that all system features, including user identification, image upload and OCR processing, expenditure management, budget setting, and data visualization, functioned as intended. The system offers users accurate and dependable capabilities for spending pattern analysis, budget management, and expense monitoring. Furthermore, the usability testing was conducted using the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) from 30 students. The mean score of the System Usefulness, Information Quality and Overall Satisfaction is above 4 which indicates that it was appreciated by the students or respondents. Therefore, this system can be a valuable tool for students to manage their finances and make informed decisions about their spending.
