A file that opens is not necessarily usable. Test readability on the fields someone will actually transcribe or verify: identity, date, document number, rates, net amount, tax, and total.
Examples are synthetic. This guide helps prepare records; it does not replace review by an accountant, tax adviser, or lawyer.
The 100% zoom test
Open the result on a normal monitor at 100% zoom. If small numbers require repeated zooming or guessing, make a new scan. Artificially enlarging a blurry image cannot restore missing detail.
Edges and multiple pages
Check all four corners, table continuations, reverse pages, and attachments. For a long receipt, use overlapping photos rather than leaving a gap between shots.
QR and OCR are supporting checks
A readable QR code does not prove that the whole document is readable. OCR can confuse 0/O, 1/I, decimal separators, or signs. Compare extracted text with the image and use official eKasa verification only as supporting evidence.
Checklist
- All corners are visible
- Text is sharp at 100%
- Date, number, and total are unambiguous
- Rate and tax are readable
- No glare or shadow covers data
- Orientation is correct
- All pages are included
- QR/OCR output was compared with the image
