 Neat Receipts is a real time saver! September 9, 2008
NeatReceipts Professional Mobile Receipt and Document Scanner and Software Combination Version 3.0
I travel all the time for business and when I get home the last thing I want to do is my expenses. I purchased Neat Receipts software and the scanner so I could just do my expense report in the hotel at night when I had nothing else better to do. It turned out to be one of my best investments as I now use the scanner to digitizes all my paper documents and I no longer travel with a stack of notes that just weigh me down while traveling. After I started to turn in very accurate expense reports, the VP of Finance asked what I was using and now the company furnishes Neat Receipts to all of guys on the road regularly.
Even when I am home, I find the compactness of the scanner to be a great addition to my crowed desk, opening space by getting rid of my flatbed scanner and just using the Neat Receipts scanner. It does a great job on scanning photo's documents and of course all my written documents that I now store on a back up drive at home and the urgent one on my traveling laptop. I highly recommend this product and I am looking forward to using their new NeatWork 4.0 soon.
Great product for many different uses (not just receipts). August 24, 2008
I am a consultant and I bought this product for scanning receipts. It does a great job for that, but I have found that it is great for scanning just about anything that you want into a PDF file. I am satisfied with the product, but be certain that you have the recommended memory to run the software. The MS database that it uses is a memory hog. Be cautious of this on upgrades, since each update/upgrade usually requires more memory than the previous one.
 Awesome product! August 18, 2008
The 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.

I couldn't get it to scan a document without automatically turning the result 3 or 4 degrees leaving black wedges. The program will not allow any image adjustment in the document mode, just the receipt mode, which means if you want a gray-scale or color document scanned you have to totally rely on the less than adequate software to do everything (poorly). To try and eliminate the black wedges I tried scanning in the receipt mode, which takes forever due to the OCR software, and then cropping the document. The problem only became worse. So I went to the Neat Receipts website and their live chat where ultimately I was told it was a hardware problem and to enter credit card information to cover the event that I didn't return the defective unit. I gave out the information and waited; two days later I get an automated email that the problem was "solved" but I could log in on their website and respond to the email, which I did. I then got into a loop of automated responses to the concerns that I entered. Ultimately it looks like I have to return the unit to the vendor and they will not send a replacement like they first stated. So far I have wasted more of my time than the device is worth. I cannot see spending the time it takes to scan and recognize each receipt and allowing Neat Receipts software to keep track of receipts. Frankly after all the trouble, I don't trust the whole system to keep critical data.

This was one of the easiest installations of software I've had. You have to read the instructions (which I don't many times), but once you've done that it is a snap. It also is just what I was looking for as far as taking all of my receipts and putting them in some kind of structure. I can't wait until tax time when I have to produce my receipts for our accountant. Also, to have all receipts in this software will allow us to see and understand where we're spending money.
