render, at the display screen, the GUI;

receive, from the GUI, the confirmation;

determine a modified submission total amount based on the displayed submission total amount and the user comments;

and

provide, via the communication interface, to the expense management system, the adjusted total amount.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program is for:

receiving, at a controller of a computing device, a receipt image, the receipt image comprising: a total amount region including a total amount of expenses in the receipt image; and an itemized expense region including itemized expense amounts, the itemized expense amounts being portions of the total amount;

performing, via the controller, character recognition on the receipt image to determine the total amount and the itemized expense amounts;
