Supported Countries & Languages
Worldwide receipt and invoice processing in 205 languages, with country tables for common languages, currencies, date formats, and tax context.
Taggun processes receipts and invoices from every country and reads 205 languages. Core extraction is available worldwide on every plan. Which optional fields are returned depends on the endpoint, request parameters, account settings, and submitted document. Some merchant fields require Extract Merchant Details. Currency is extracted when available; country-specific processing may apply a local fallback when currency is missing or invalid. See Data Fields That Taggun Extracts.
The fastest way to check your country: test a real receipt.Create an account and choose a self-service plan. The first 30 days or first 1,000 scans, whichever comes first, are free; when either limit is reached, the selected plan becomes paid and billing starts. Run your own receipts through the API playground to see which fields come back for your documents. See Test With Your Own Receipts.
Support levels
Taggun processes receipts and invoices worldwide and reads 205 languages. The tables below summarise languages, currencies, date formats, and tax systems commonly seen on receipts in each listed country; they are reference context, not a country-by-country accuracy guarantee. Test your own documents to measure performance for your receipt mix.
Country-specific features. Some countries have dedicated extraction features beyond core fields — tax ID validation, document type classification, and country-specific QR formats or workflows. These are linked in the More column and listed under Country-specific features.
How to read the tables
- Languages — the languages commonly printed on receipts in that country. Language is detected automatically; you can optionally pass a
languagehint. - Date formats — the formats commonly printed on receipts there. Taggun detects formats automatically and resolves ambiguous dates (e.g. MM/DD vs DD/MM) using contextual analysis of the receipt.
- Tax system — tax terminology commonly used in that country, provided as reference context. Core extraction returns the detected tax amount; an enabled Multi-Tax response may also return
entities.multiTaxLineItems[].data.taxTypewhen available. (*UPDATE TO LINK TO Multi tax handling page) - More — country-specific features (dedicated page) or notes. QR marks countries with relevant receipt, invoice, or payment-QR context; requirements vary and must be verified independently — see QR Code Extraction.

Need a country-specific field that isn't listed — a local tax ID, compliance code, or document type? Contact us to discuss the field and your document set.
Language detection and hints
Taggun detects the document language automatically — no configuration needed. If you know your receipts' language in advance, you can pass an optional language hint (en, es, fr, jp, he, iw, et, lv, lt, fi, el, zh, th, ar, kh) with any extraction request to nudge results. Highly recomended for receipts and invoices in Thai, Hebrew, Arabic, and Khmer. See common request parameters.
