NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System for Mac

I love it for the most part. I like that its portable. The trade off is that you have to manually feed all your papers and items. Then, you have to manually clean them up once they are scanned. But, as far as scanners go, this is small, and gets the job done. Pages get scanned clearly which is more than I can say for most of the scanners out there...especially budget scanners.

Poor technical support team. I purchased the product at 2015 May. Two years now, the company want to promote its cloud software service, stop to support the hardware software. I bought a new computer, but once I installed into the old one. Even I uninstall the software from the old computer, I could not allow to transfer to a new computer. And I could not get a technical person to help me with the software installation. They repeat and repeat say the company policy. Dont like the company to push customer for paying more and more. I am going to look for other solution for this product.

The listing said this item was like new... I have to disagree. First, the scanner was discolored, almost as if it had been sitting out in the sun because of the yellow tint it has now. Second, each and every scan Ive attempted has a thick black line running down the left side making it extremely annoying to read any information... I just got the damn thing and even after a long and tiresome troubleshooting period, I can only assume I was sent a defective product.

After I install the app I like the look. Its like Mail, and others. But first let me tell you about myself, and why I give this 3 stars. I have been a Mac user for over 9 years (before OS 10.0) and in the last 2 or so years Macs are the in thing; ipods and iPhones are great. But this app is like a teen learning its body. I really like the scanner and App but! The scanner is a little slow; thats not a big deal to me. The Software needs a lot more added to it. First I think the app should learn what you are looking for, I have pay stubs from Quiktrip. It should learn what I Im looking at and enter what I need entered. Moreover I think that the 2.0 is really 1.0 for Mac, in the PC world I can see that it would be 2.0. But in the Mac world I think we Mac users are looking for a app that is really a 3.0 when its a 2.0 in the PC world. If you want this and need it for receipts I think you will love this app. I scanned my W-2s in and it doesnt know what that is and I have to enter all the info. The App needs a way to move the info boxs, put them in the order you need them in. I could go on and on about the app but in time I will grow to really like/love this app . If you are looking at getting this, I would think if its really worth the money. If I had to do it over again I would test drive the app and see if it is really what I need. I will keep using it because I can make it work for what I want it to do. Im trying to free my home office of paper, and in time I can do it with this app. Could I have done it for free.... well ya the apps is like Mail, bento and so on. I dont know if this review helped but just think about it before you buy it.

Have lots of problems with this Neat Receipt scanner. Doesnt want to scan the paper; keeps saying it doesnt detect the paper. Everytime I try to use it, I have to work for about 30 minutes plugging, unplugging, plugging, unplugging to get it to ever start working. Would not recommend it at all!

Awesome little scanner. I wish I had had this years ago it has made my life so much easier. The program is easy to follow and get hooked up right away for any skill level on computers. The only thing is that you have to watch the description of the item for sorting accuracy once in awhile. But I do that automatically anyways so it really doesnt bother me. The way receipts are made these days and fading and all I think it does an amazing job for the price. It does the same job as the larger scanner for sale only you have to do one at a time which I prefer anyways for accuracy. I recommend this product to all who want to get organized!

This is the third different make of scanner I have purchased and for the purpose of records keeping it is the best. It is fairly accurate in reading and placement of my required data. Since I have had it 2-weeks, there have been several updates and improvements in the operations that you can choose to do. I would recommend this to any Mac person who wishes to be able to quickly log and retrieve information from their documents or receipts.

Like any portable scanner, you must carefully guide the paper through. But the software works fine and its convenient to use. Ive started using my full-size scanner more when there are lots of documents to scan but this is fine for casual on-the-go use.

(Product: NeatReceipts for Mac mobile scanner using 3.5.6 software update) My Two Day review - amazon shipping was quick and delivery was sooner than expected which was great, I got some time to play with the scanner over the weekend and here are my initial reactions to using the hardware, software and living with it for the past two days... (Ill hopefully update this review down the line, this is a product thats been in my crosshairs for a long time, but now that Ive finally gotten it, my first recommendation is - if you think you need to digitize your life, you probably do. Dont hesitat like I did, then try to reconcile boxes upon boxes of papers... its not fun, but its rewarding at least...) the package and unboxing: the packaging is pleasant and easy to open, easy to read etc - its surprising how some pieces of equipment are just laden with fine print - most of which is repeated in a booklet within anyway. the package came with the scanner, a usb A to B (mini) cable, the starter booklet which included a calibration card, dry cleaning sheet and wet cleaning cloth (in pouch, one time use) the install CD and a PDF program cd as well (PDF program didnt come with any documentation, but it will install and not run on OSX 10.6... time to upgrade i guess). the hardware: the scanner is ligher than it looks - it has a nice sleek build with quality hardware. a simple green led beside the PDF and Scan button (and not a glaringly bright LED either) notes when its on and ready to scan, and blinks for scanning. two rubber feet on the bottom keep the unit steady on the surface you have it on. the scanners feed rollers are something to touch on - they grip thin receipts pretty well and help smooth out wrinkles as you scan (i tried some pretty wrinkled fuel receipts and was impressed that the scan was legible and OCR was still able to do its job. even the most faded receipt was at least visibly legible even if OCR couldnt read the faded blue ink on white paper. the rollers have to be fed at one end with sheets smaller than a standard letter size sheet (feeds in portrait dimension) and can take a sheet as long as you care to send into it. a standard, color letter sheet will scan within 3 seconds and then OCR takes over (while which you can continue to scan additional pages). i had a few pages skew sideways in the rollers, but nothing that a little feeding techinque couldnt fix. the software: this is the crux of this piece of kit. i wouldve bought an automatic feeding, duplex scanning scanner if all I wanted was to create tons of pdfs of my papers, but to have the software pull some intelligent information while running OCR on those pages. the software isnt something ive mastered in the last two days, and ill admit, i think it shouldnt be this hard (I design buildings using 3D software, so im not thick when it comes to software. my best one-liner of this software is the itunes of pdf filing. it seems like they used itunes as a model for the program and went from there. the folders along the left column are like play lists in itunes. the window with file names and details are how youd view songs and the preveiw window is just like the single song/album art preview window in itunes... so anyway, thats a feel for it. I believe ive used the most basic method of filing so far and used the default folder types and form fields and pulled just basic information so far. I like that the software has default tax form data fields where you can selectively pull information that might apply to certain tax forms (from which you can export to turbo tax etc later) I did expirement with importing a single page pdf which it did nicely, the next two tests are multipage pdf files and using photos of receipts taken with my phone (will probably have to convert photo > pdf to import) As i learn more ill post up!

Hate having little pieces of paper receipts that road warriors have to deal with. I prefer to track my expenses as they happen instead of dealing with them all in one shot at the end of the month. This scanner is portable enough and has great resolution for documents. Has the added benefit of scanning to PDF files without necessarily importing them as a receipt. With respect to the program itself, Ive had no issues with it. In some ways I wish it was more customizable and more intuitive but for the most part it does exactly what I need. I know my accountant appreciates the tax categories assigned to the receipts. If you keep up to date on the versions, you shouldnt have any problems. Customer service was responsive when I had issues with the original scanner (1 yr warranty). In short, this does what is purports do do well and is the best game in town.
