The idea is brought up here periodically.  No one's stepped up with
code, however.

Yeah, it seems like you'd want GnuCash to call over to a TWAIN library
and initiate scanning.  You'd really want to build it into the
transaction-entry data-entry workflow for it to be useful.

Either that, or build a 'I have the receipt here' flag into transaction
entry, which leads to a batch "let's scan a bunch of receipts!"
workflow.

Nope.

Simple Matter of Programming.

I've never seen one.
