Summary: Great Product, Poor Retailer, Decent manufacturer warranty process
Comment: Bought fro ANT-Online. would not accept return, told me to read the small print. scanner froze after i scanned and shredded about 100 receipts. lost all info, and my data from the scans. very disappointing..not to mention costly, and frustrating. Program worked very well, but froze on my new macbook pro, which runs everything else seamlessly. The Neat company has quickly sent me another scanner, but ANT-made the process timely, and drawn out, obviously to retain their profits:-(

Summary: Excellent Cool Device
Comment: Very cool in style and function - just like my Apple Mac.
Compact, stylish, works great. Scan in all your receipts and store them in an organized database.
You can also scan anything else that will fit through the scanner.
It has really helped me get organized and get rid of lots of paper. I love this thing !!
It keeps getting better too as they release new updates to the software.
Get one !!

Summary: Great for archiving and organizing receipts / business cards
Comment: I upgraded from the Neat Receipts 3.0 scanner to the Neat Works 4.0 scanner package recently. I like the Neat Receipts 3.0 scanner, but the upgrade is really worth it.
For starters the quick scan center with the new version takes less system resources and it allows the user to enter receipts in batches, which is efficient. I was able to scan a pile of 277+ receipts in one night, while watching television. Pretty painless and easy to do without requiring a lot of attention, so you can make good use of downtime while you're watching TV / relaxing, etc.
The best part of this is not the physical scanner, it's the software. It allows me to look up previous receipts in a jiffy, and lets me shred / toss old receipts. The physical scanner is nice too though. It's definitely not photo quality, but that's not why I bought this package. The scanner works fairly well / quickly for most receipts, a bit better than the silver version even though they're supposedly the same hardware. I find with the older version the USB would fail to be recognized by Windows XP, but no such problems with the new version.
If you want to organize your receipts and keep good records, I highly recommend this package! It's the one of the few products that actually does what it claims to do. Excellent product.
Future improvement wishes would be speedier scans, but that is limited by the scanning technology and hardware specifications.

Summary: Sturdy Workhorse, gets things done!
Comment: This is my first product experience with receipt scanners. I found it very easy to use and intuitive. Works seamlessly with Mac. Although the OCR doesn't pick up everything all the time, it picks up most of it and changing/editing items is a no-brainer. I am very happy with this portable, little scanner. Takes up little to no space; is very compact and also creates PDFs for my text documents.
The whole point of getting it for me was to lessen the number of receipt boxes and folders I have running amok in my house. So far, it's worked brilliantly. I scan in my receipts about once a week to keep up with what I have for this year. I love that it doesn't need a power cord and uses a mini usb cord instead. The software allows you to create your own libraries of receipts in order to group them according to your needs.
I have my own business at home and this seems to be doing the trick. Rather pleased. Gave it 4 stars because it doesn't recognize all the info off the receipts sometimes. Would buy again, knowing what I know now.

Summary: Not quite there yet
Comment: I got this to help entering my massive pile of receipts into Quicken. Oops, it doesn't work with Quicken - maybe it will someday, but meanwhile my receipt pile is just getting bigger.
When I first fired it up, the scans were unreadable; rebooted and it worked okay. It's pretty good at finding data on the receipt, but you still have to double-check that it got the numbers right, and about half the time you have to enter the merchant code or other info. My receipts get folded into my wallet, so usually they're a bit crumpled to begin with, which doesn't help, and long or torn receipts don't work well either - and it's counter intuitive to put them in upside down (really I'd rather it scanned both sides). Basically it takes me less time just to hand-enter my data into Q.
No obvious way to sort by expense type (cash/visa 1/visa 2/bank receipt). Output as CDF (or TDF, I can't recall) which does not include expense type.
It is a neat little unit. They don't emphasize how well it does on photos, and if I were going to keep it I'd try that out, but I assume the resolution isn't good enough, and I'll stick with my flatbed Canoscan for that.
Returning it today.
