Features

Apple Recommends For

An easy-to-use, intuitive way to manage all of your business and personal paperwork.

NeatReceipts is a mobile scanner and digital filing system that helps you manage all of your paperwork on the computer. It includes NeatWorks software that identifies and extracts the important information from receipts, business cards and documents and automatically organizes it for you.

Powerfully easy to use

NeatReceipts relies on NeatWorks for Mac Version 2.0 software that's designed to look and feel like the applications you use every day. It gives you drag-and-drop functionality, multiple views and is completely integrated with Spotlight.

Capture and retrieve details quickly

NeatWorks software uses OCR and patented parsing technology to identify and save key information. On receipts, it looks for the date, vendor, amount and sales tax.

Not Happy with this At All
- Written by Shawn K from Concord
- Mar 15, 2009
I'm somewhat surprised, given every "article" written is enthusiastic. I have to say the success rate on business cards is about 1 in 20. 2 in 20 are "close" but require 2-3 minutes of juggling of information around. And, honestly, half the phone numbers are wrong (I guess the scanner can't really handle the small fonts on most business cards).

I think it is quicker to simply type in the contact information manually (which is too bad).

I will most likely be returning this product unless somebody can convince me the scan and edit is quicker than just typing.

Here's my comparison:

without NeatReceipts:
1. Launch address book (pick any app) - 20 seconds
2. Click 'New Contact" - 5 seconds
3. Type/Enter Contact Info - 30 seconds
4. Save, Toss Card, Save 1-10 MB of Disk space - 5 seconds
TOTAL TIME: 1 minute

with NeatReceipts:
1. Get and Connect Scanner - 30 seconds
(no sense leaving it out on the desk all the time)
2. Launch NeatReceipts Software - 20 seconds
3. Scan Business Card - 30 seconds (at least, with analysis)
4. Proof and Correct Data - 2-3 minutes
5. Save (and waste 1-10 MB of disk space) - 5 seconds
6. Import/Merge into Address Book? - 20 seconds
TOTAL TIME: 3:45 - 4:45 minutes

Really silly, unless you plan on practicing to become a professional scanner/proofer/editor. I'd rather stick with my typing skills - and save my disk space. …More

Potentially useful
- Written by Luis S from Toronto

The card-scanning software is poor; its redeeming quality is that the original card is saved as a picture which transfers to address book, so the mistakes the software makes can be corrected at a later time and the original card is there for future reference; I find it useful when you have many cards to digitize (say 50); you just let the scanner do its job possibly with errors, and you can devote your time to doing something else. Scanning pdf's, however, is good.

The actual scanner is small and I use it when I travel, it even fits inside your carry-on.

It is a pity also that it does not seem to scan pictures to high-quality jpg's, just to pdf's. …More

Disappointed
- Written by J F from Saskatoon
- Dec 30, 2009
Every receipt that I've scanned has gone crooked. To the point all my receipts on screen look curved. I haven't got a straight one yet. If a paper gets caught on a fold, it will alter the direction of the paper going through, again making it crooked. It needs a guide on the outside. Sometimes it looks smeared.
It can't recognize any text at all. Get's it wrong all the time.
The only cool thing about it is it's size. It's small and lightweight. It's also powered through the USB cable, so no need for a power outlet which is handy in the car.
Going to return it.

Great Concept - Poor Operation
- Written by B Lane H from Libertyville
- Feb 5, 2013
The Neat scanner is a wonderful idea - but if I didn't own it, I wouldn't buy it.
It refuses to consistently work with a MacMini - every other time the application is started, I have to turn off and on the scanner, exit out of the application, and restart - sometimes 4 or 5 times in a row just to scan 1 single receipt

The Neat support people have no answer - they say it "is what it is"

So don't buy the Neat scanner - cause "it isn't what it is supposed to be" …More

Product Continues Downward Spiral
- Written by Sherman C from Edmonton
- Sep 23, 2012
Hardware is great, software needs a revamp.
Updates turn back into the stone age. You'd be better off taking a picture of your receipts and store them in a folder. It can't even do that in a simple way.

Why would a company make PC & Mac but force you to buy the software for both platforms, and then not make them compatible? And charge you $80 for a useless already overpriced item....

Minus 1 STAR...= ZERO
Don't waste your money on this until NEAT cleans up their software. …More

Yes. This scanner actually gives you the option to write (and has a hardware button specifically for) PDF files. You can also select PDF in the software, if you choose to load it instead of using the hardware buttons. …More

I'd like to share this with my business partner who is a Windows user? Is it a hybrid disc or do I have to additionally buy the Windows disc?

You have to buy a windows disc. Then you can use the same scanner. After that you can transfer information back and forth easily by saving it in the proper format and then exporting to your Documents file to send out. I have both systems, it has worked well.

All the reviews about neat receipts seem to be about scanning business card - but what about scanning receipts? Does it work well?
- Asked by Suzanne Z from Temple

Yes, any documents with numerical text works fine. Our office would spend a week completing employee time sheets, expenses, and then reconciliation with invoicing. Now we have it completed in two days. Hand written recognition is great, but all data then must be manually transferred to columns. Where text that is typed, is captured and 90% of the numerical information is transferred from the receipts to the ledger columns accurately.
