Hi Product Hunt! Ok, it’s not really free. McDonald’s has a “Buy 1 Get 1 Free Quarter Pounder” offer if you complete a short survey using the receipt from a previous visit. Sounds easy right? The problem Each McDonald’s receipt contains a 26-digit(?!?!) code which is awfully painful to enter in their website at mcdvoice.com. Depending on your keyboard ninja skills, it could take a while to enter this code on a phone. The solution I built a tiny tool that will scan the receipt, use Optical Character Recognition(OCR) to retrieve the survey code and pre-fill the code in the McDonald’s survey site to get you started. That’s it! What makes this special? - You don’t need to download an app, all you need is a web browser - The receipt is processed on your device, it is not sent anywhere. - You can give away this free burger to someone in need! Use this sample receipt to try it out

That’s all folks. If you find this useful, please share with others.

@howlerkate Great question! Currently, the app only scans receipts in english. If you can share a sample German receipt, I will add support for it. Thanks!

Plans to open source? Could see something like this for a LOT of other products - surveys are on so many receipts.

@johnmurch @braunshizzle yup, planning on it. Based on how this is received, I plan to build a mobile app that can generically scan receipts for surveys and codes and opensource it.
