Today, I am excited to introduce Hisaab (Daily Expense Tracker) Android app which supports speech recognition for quick input and works OFFLINE also. It will help you to note your incomes/expenses and calculate the total amount quickly. You can classify income and expenses by categories and payment methods. Also, you can search and view different reports.

Background

More than 2 years ago, I launched Hisaab Online tool. I got many requests to make it mobile native. I started to work on it. But due to some reason, my focus shifted to learn AI/ML/Cloud technologies. Few weeks back, I was going through my backup folders, found the app so decided to work on it because I didn't find any app which works in the way I want. In two years, many things have changed. I upgraded the libraries to AndroidX, did work on UI part and added some more features. The main goal is to make it very simple and easy to use. Personally, I am not fan of material design.

The steps may vary on different devices with different OS version, but once you download them, it will be displayed in your installed list.

Note: It needs some practice for speech input. It depends on many factors like speech speed, internet speed for online version,...etc. If you are not comfortable, you can use manual input.

Quick Tab

If you are gonna do multiple entries belong to same category/payment method or wanna use speech input, Quick tab is the best way to do.
