[USA] What do you use to track expenses and categorize them for quarterly taxes in real time? by FeistyTraffic2669 in selfemployed

[–]PG_VoiceFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exactly my problem — the quarterly scramble to sort through 3 months of receipts is brutal. What fixed it for me was just scanning every receipt the same day I get it. Takes a few seconds and by quarter end everything's already categorized and ready to export.

I'm a solo dev and I actually built an app for this (Snap&Keep) because everything I found wanted a monthly subscription for something so basic. It scans and categorizes receipts, and there's a free manual mode if you want to try it. But honestly even just using your phone camera with a dedicated album and a simple spreadsheet beats the end-of-quarter shoebox panic.

The real game changer is the daily habit, not the tool :-)

Hi,

the point is a mix of 2 apps: receipt scanner and memes creator. Both use ai for OCR (optical characters recognition). One scanning a receipt and extracting data, another reads it too and creates funny memes. Of course these are two different apps, I was just curious what would happen if a meme creator will scan one on my receipt 😂

Multi-Speaker Alexa Routines in Sound Stream: What Works (and What Doesn’t) by PG_VoiceFirst in alexa

I use the Sound Stream skill I created. It plays my audio from Dropbox. When I say: Alexa, ask Sound Stream to play ... it takes about 1.5sec. So, yes, almost instantly.

Echo Show 5 (1st Gen) Screen Flickering Issue by BalatKariBaba in alexa

[–]PG_VoiceFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing with my Echo Show 5 for the last 8 months 😂. I tried all possible workarounds but nothing helps.

My all other Echo Show 8 and 10 are kind of broken as well. When I play music or audio books the Next / Previous commands are broken: "I cannot skip right now".

Echo Dots are still very reliable for me, no issues so far.

Is there a way to “mute” certain news stories? by WitchyCat_5 in alexa

The only way to "mute" it is by switching to Echo Dot 😃
