    Oh my god, I should stop reading the amazon or magazine reviews or should not buy products with 5 ***** reviews !!.. When I installed the Software this scanner came with, I spent whole night recovering the my PC as it crashed my outlook and I ended up with lot, lot of lost emails and headache. It did NOT scan the Business cards 100%. I would say, it can scan only 75% of card info. most of the time and one big disappointment, that It does not scan lender bills or any bills , so its use is limited. For the price of $175, I was expecting more mature product but... I think this product needs more quality control testing and more wider approach in their business area. I strongly think this tiny scanner at $175 is too expensive and a waste of money and if you dont like it on day one, you will never use it. I am Returning it as I wont use it anymore for sure .

    I thought this was a Neat Idea when my girlfriend told me about hers. However, its pretty slow and it got to be a PITA to submit all my receipts one at a time, etc. so I havent used it for a long long time. I see they have become more popular and advertised lately-maybe I should re-sell now while they are hot or just use as a mobile scanner/copier Great concept if you have the time and discipline - not me- shoebox or baggies and Excel Spreadsheet for me

    I was very excited about this scanner. I purchased from Amazon because it was cheaper. The disk that came with the scanner did not work with my Mac, even though I purchased the Mac version. I tried to download software directly from Neat.com, but the product key on the disk I purchased from Amazon did not work with the Neat website. Neat wont provide service since I did not buy it from them. I dont have the box as I am traveling and had to discard, so now I cant return it. Waste of time and money.

    I got this scanner 5 days ago, and I scanned over 400 documents (receipts + bills) already. I got it before the expected date of delivery (Thank you Amazon) and the product was great. The software installation took some time and has a large footprint. I generate a 1 to 2-inch thick stack of receipts each month of varying sizes (2x3 to 11x8) and I scanned one months receipts/docs in a few hours. It is so easy, that my 5 year old scanned over 50 different sized receipts for me. Here are some good and need for improvement items: Goods: 1. Can scan anything -- scanned very glossy paper receipts to crumpled ones to those that have staples (yes - you can push papers with staples with little effort). Scans Biz Cards also. 2. For receipts, it recognized the information (date and totals) 95% of the time - a couple of times, it messed up the $ which is easy to fix. 3. It has a multi-page scanning option to scan multiple pages into one document (e.g.phone bills) - the documents can be of different sizes. 4. The scanning speed is not bad - better than what I expected for such a small equipment 5. Allows you to organize scanned content into different folders 6. Can export entire folder into many formats (tried only XLS and PDF so far) and it summarizes the XLS or creates one PDF with all the images - the PDF export is a neatly formatted report, with summary (categorization) in the first few pages, and images after that. 7. Allows Color scanning too, but I used the B&W default only. 8. Can scan very long receipts (tried 3-4 page long receipts successfully) 9. Document (8x11) scanning is also reasonably quick (if you make the mistake of scanning a document, e.g. bill into receipts, it takes a long time to analyze the image for distribution - scan the docs into Documentation category and you are set). Needs Improvement: 1. The software sometimes takes up a lot of CPU (>50%) of the machine 2. If the receipt has a fold, it could turn during scanning, causing the image to appear warped - I would like to see a glide/support. Use your finger to act as a glide they improve the product. 3. Vendor Name recognition needs some improvement - It recognizes some, but did not for most. Definitely does not recognize if Vendor name is in the logo (e.g. Sams Club receipts) - so after scanning, I added the Vendor name. 4. Scanning documents does not do any recognition - nothing is filled (date, name of doc, type etc). 5. It does crash once in a while, and you lose your work - I periodically close the program after scanning 20-30 documents, and start again. 6. Startup time of the software is rather too long. Overall, I would say I am very pleased to have bought this scanner. I need to wait and see what happens to their software when I scan a few more months of documents - will it become slow? only time will tell.

    I purchased this scanner several years ago. I intended to use it instead of a flatbed scanner to scan my household paper documents. The major drawback of using this scanner is the included software. Using an application to organize documents is alright as long as the application always works. When you cant get the application to run, you have no way of accessing your documents. Such is the case with me when I upgraded to Windows 7. The Neat Receipts application will not open the database, so I have no access to my documents saved using Neat Receipts Professional software. Luckily, I only save documents for about a year several years ago. As time goes by, there is less and less chance that I will need the documents I cant access using Neat Receipts software. Early on, I started searching for a software alternative to use with this scanner. Basically, all I need is software that allows me to save documents in PDF format. I am quite capable of storing individual PDF documents in directories that allow me to locate anything I am looking for quickly. If I need a hard copy of a document, it is easy to print a PDF document. The software I found that works great for this purpose is JGS-Scan ([...] With the Neat Receipts Twain driver, the scanner works great using JGS-Scan. It allows scanning of multiple pages into 1 PDF document and I am not limited to using a program to look at my documents. As a portable scanner, I think this scanner deserves 4 stars. The only problem with the scanner itself is the difficulty in feeding documents into the scanner that are not free of creases. Documents with previous folds have to be watched closely to make sure they feed properly. The software deserves 1 star, in my opinion, which is why I gave this review 2 stars.

    I did all kinds of research online for a compact portable scanner to help me with document reduction. I finally decided to go with the Neatreciepts scanner after considerable research across all kinds of sites including watching the downloadable Martha Stewart review from their web site. My overall impression is that its a great concept but the way the product delivers is less than perfect. The Scanner: The one thing I will say about this product is that its compact. Its very small, much smaller than other desktop models Ive seen and it draws all of its power from the USB cable making it truely convienient. However, my big problem was with getting it to grab and scan the document. When you feed a sheet into the scanner, it prefeeds the document a slight amount to prepare for the scan. However, once you push the scan button (either on the scanner or in the software) it rarely pulled the sheet through without me needing to give it a push. I tested this with an 8.5 X 11 document and it only grabbed the sheet correctly 20% of the time. The Software: This is where I was most dissapointed. On their website the software was billed as a being able to categorize and database reciepts, documents, tax forms, business cards, etc. In reality this tool was built to categorize reciepts effectively and do other documents as an afterthought. This is most evident in the softwares single-minded focus on trying to categorize everything you scan as a reciept. I scanned in my paycheck and it categorized ny employer as a vendor and my salary as an expense. I had the same problem with scanning in documents. The categorization had to conform to the types of categories used for reciepts. Not good. You can turn off the OCR and manually categorize your information, but you still need to classify all documents as some kind of reciept. I saw this problem on the Martha Stewart clip where her recipe cards were classified as reciepts where the vendor was the name of the recipe - I should have realized then how big the problem is. Okay aside from the categorization issue the biggest problem was that many of the documents I scanned were returning errors when they were scanned into the system. This supposedly was with their most recent version of the software. The verdict: If youre looking for a scanner to scan only reciepts then this may be the product for you. Otherwise Id suggest you keep looking.

    I 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.

    Truthfully, this little scanner and associated software works better than I expected. The scanned images are quite good with good data compresson to conserve space. OCR is reasonable. On the downside, it doesnt total the $s for multiple invoices in the same receipt box. Also, the filing system is only 2 levels deep, folders and receipts, making it harder to manage the same files for multiple years. I manage this for a particular folder, like utilities, by prefacing each of the receipt boxes with the year. So I have a 2006 Verizon receipt box and a 2007 Verizon receipt box. Also the OCR speed is fairly slow on my system. Some receipts can take more than a minute to scan and read.

    Although I cant give this product a perfect five-star rating, it still is worth the investment. I am impressed with the overall accuracy of the OCR capibility and the flexibility of the filing system. The major drawback for me is the lack of full integration with the newer versions of Quicken, which is my main financial management software. It requires several extra steps to transfer all the scanned info and not all the fields that I need in Quicken are available in the scan batch. However the ease of use and the fact that receipt, bsn card and other documents can be stored with a compact device on-the-run compensate for most of the awkwardness.
