Field notes
The page walks through choosing home and trip currencies, aiming at a single clear amount, then checking the source amount, currency, and rate date. It says a traveler can correct a misread or enter a price manually. The examples cover different punctuation conventions, while the FAQ draws a firm boundary: a receipt total can be scanned, but its line items are not added together.
