The Challenge
Users needed a way to scan, store, search, and understand receipts without relying on small visual details or fragile manual organization.
UX / UI / Accessibility
A receipt scanning and organization concept designed for visually impaired users, with a focus on legibility, voice-supported retrieval, and clearer interaction states.
Case Study
Receipts are small, inconsistent, and easy to lose. For visually impaired users, that everyday task becomes an accessibility problem.
Users needed a way to scan, store, search, and understand receipts without relying on small visual details or fragile manual organization.
We split the project into research, problem definition, ideation, wireframes, business planning, prototype design, and user testing.
The design prioritized large visual separation between functions, simplified screens, voice-friendly retrieval, high-contrast modes, and explicit confirmation so users could trust where each receipt went.
User testing confirmed that the simplified structure and contrast direction helped reduce confusion, while also revealing interaction details that needed refinement.
We clarified visual impairment as a broad target group that included myopia, glaucoma, blurred vision, and colour blindness. The primary product focus became users who experience blurred or low vision while trying to read, organize, and retrieve receipts.
Through interviews, we learned that some participants relied on enlarged fonts while others used voice reading tools. A recurring issue was that many apps did not visually separate functions clearly enough, making accurate tapping and retrieval difficult.
I contributed to UX research, UI design, business planning, and prototype refinement. As the project developed, I also helped translate accessibility findings into interface decisions and supported the business plan around funding, subscription, and sustainability.
Research to Prototype
The strongest design moves came from making the flow simpler, the functional areas more distinct, and the recovery path clearer.
Testing & Learning
Testing showed that users appreciated the simple structure, but also revealed moments where common UI assumptions were not accessible enough.
Participants agreed that the color contrast was easier on the eyes, the functional separation was clear, and the simplified interface reduced mistaken taps.
Some users did not immediately understand the filter button as a dropdown, and the top-right home button contradicted expected navigation habits.
Inclusive design is not a final accessibility checklist. It is a repeated practice of observing where confidence breaks down and redesigning around recovery.
