> 3 dayI read the very positive review of this gadget in one of David Pogues recent NYT Friday articles. Hes such a switched on guy and thus I ordered one straight away. I travel to interstate jobs and I get reimbursed for cab fares from and to the airport etc. This scanner reads the receipts, I can input the category of the expense, the vendor etc etc. I can specify whether it is an account, a receipt or just a document being scanned. I can specify if it was a personal or reimbursable expense. It can be converted directly into a pdf file. I bought a new piece of equipment for my home theatre this week and I have copied the receipt and printed it out onto a full sheet of paper for warranty purposes. (Ever had a warranty issue and cant find that tiny proof-of-purchase receipt a year or two down the track?) Im also using the scanner to copy all my petty cash receipts for the month. The software then enables me to print out a list of that months expenses and it adds em up and totals them too. It will scan documents from the size of a small receipt up to a sheet of letter stationery. BTW you can scan in business cards and the scanner will tabulate the addresses, phone Nºs etc. Sure I can use my big desktop scanner, but its a hassle to set up and warm up etc. This small USB-driven scanner is portable and instantly usable.

> 3 dayI would have liked it a lot except that the product I recieved does not scan properly. Half of the scanner does not scan color images and when using black and white documents half the document is darker than the other half. This is right down the middle of the page from top to bottom. I will not be ordering anything from that seller again.

Greater than one weekthis product is long overdue - a great saver of both time and space - and a great asset to anyone looking to organize and actually run their finances. software could do better at recognizing dates that are written with the month abbreviated instead of numerical and it gets bogged down with receipts that are created with dots - especially useful with thermal receipts that arent left in the sun - once those fade they become almost impossible to read. all in all and excellent product and value - well done

> 3 dayGreat device for cutting down on paper clutter. Main uses for me are receipts (I create a PDF of all receipts from a single trip and zip it with the expense report), for business cards which I sync with Outlook and for general notes -- I never have to worry about having the right paper folder along on a trip. Outlook sync for business cards is great but could map more fields or allow user to adjust the maping. For example, would like to map attachments and back of card (particularly Chinese cards) into Outlook.

Greater than one weekHello, I am running this on vista. I am very pleased overall with the product. I am a bit disappointed in the way the receipts are organized. Other than that, very pleased with the product. You can have multiple categories to scan receipts into. I own 4 businesses. I set up all 4 businesses and personal folders and scan all my receipts in. Also I set up folders and scan in important documents. Overall very good product.

> 3 dayI have a serious problem with receipts. First of all, I cant throw them out. What if I have to return something?? So, my handbag is full of receipts, old and new. Then, when I need to return something, I cant find the one Im looking for. Never fails. This cool little scanner solves all of my problems. Now, after shopping, I come home, empty my purse, scan my receipts and throw them all out...except for the ones that have a high probability of a return. Those I save until Im sure Im happy with the product. Still, if I ever need to return it or take a look at my receipt, all I have to do is pull it up on Neat Receipts. The scanner works amazingly well on receipts that are faded or wrinkled. A lot of the times the image recognition software doesnt read the information correctly - it doesnt recognize debit payments and always puts them in as cash. Its very easy to correct errors, so its no big deal. I have different folders set up for different stores that I go to a lot. Then I have general folders for food stores, clothing stores, shoe stores, etc. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! The other day a friend asked me how much an item cost that I bought at Sams Club. I brought up the program, went to my Sams club folder, and quickly found the receipt. It has a place to check off if its a tax deduction and even asks you the form number. Now all of my receipts are organized and Ill never be fishing through my handbag looking for that one stupid receipt that I cant find. BUY IT!!

> 3 dayThe only fly in the ointment is the fact that this device only really works with Windows XP, and not Mac or Linux, and not very great (as of last month) with Windows Vista. Scans and helps you organize store receipts and business cards, very important items for anyone who likes to really keep track of their or their business finances.

Greater than one weekNR Scanalizer Pro is a lightweight, portable scanner for tracking business expenditures, for business cards and any other documents that need to be organized. Once you complete the required Learning Curve, it becomes a useful tool for anyone with a small business or on the go that desires to track and manage costs, create expense reporting and useful for tax purposes. Export data to Quickbooks, Outlook, Word, Excel and can convert data to PDF, CSV & HTML. I just started using this new scanner, so I rated this scanner at 4.2/5 Stars and probably should have ordered two, one for my office and one for the road! Of course, well see in 6 months whether its still functioning or it has become a wall sculpture! *One obvious important drawback to note is its Very Limited Warranty, so I took out an Extended Warranty thru Amazon and is what I would recommend to anyone that is going to purchase this scanner. And although its not compatible with Macintosh, by the time you read this it wont make any difference as the new Dual Core Macs do Windoze now. UPDATE - August 2010 - After playing with it for a month, the main Scan Button didnt work, but the 2nd button did. Got bored so I put it away to play another day. This month we started archiving a bunch of old documents, and we really needed a Sacnner now, I went on-line and saw how much these Scanners have increased in Price! Then I remembered that I still had the Windoze model, was brand new in the Box, so instead of purchasing a $400 dollar new one, I just bought the Macintosh Software for 70 bucks, and Presto ... I had a fully Functional Mobile Scanner that Now works flawlessly! * Stay away from the Document OCR Scanning Option, its Worthless, besides a PDF & JPEG files works much better. 4.5 Stars!

> 3 dayGreat product for reducing the sheer mountain of paper a person collects each day/week/month while being able to maintain needed records for personal/tax purposes. The scanner is a nice compact size and handles most receipts easily on the first try, even the ones that have been folded, scrunched, twisted and then straightened out. The only thing I would like it to do, and I havent figured out how to do it if it can, is maintain the addresses with the vendor names so I dont have to retype in that info each time. The software help menu is okay, but could be a little better.
