NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System for Mac

The compactness of this scanner is its main selling point. Its about the size of a curling iron and will fit easily in your suitcase or carry on bag. However, I would not use it for anything important or official, as almost everything wiggles or crimps as it goes through it. If portability isnt your need, Id probably pick another one.

This little item works very well and very quickly but it isnt perfect yet. The scanner is good, it rectifies crooked scans, but the OCR can miss things. It can be amazingly accurate, and on the next scan it can get the vendor wrong, the price wrong or the details wrong. Nevertheless its good because it is very easy to correct the mistakes and then the file of images and the reports it generates are great for record keeping and consistent with IRS standards. Particularly good if you have a FLEX (Flexible Medical Spending Account) and you need to keep records of all those copays, OTC meds, etc. Overall a really good product. Fix the OCR software and it will be perfect.

The scanner is pretty fast for a small desktop device and produces good scans. The device is portable and connects via usb. The software OCR is pretty accurate. The thing that makes the day is the software. It does a good job of pulling off the fields from the scanned item and placing them into the right place in the built in data base entry. But the thing that really is good is how easy it is to manually update fields or over ride the OCR. Just drag the info into where you want it and edit it for correctness. I am using the MAC version but I assume the PC version works just as well. So it does everything I wanted.

This is a useful tool to stay organised. It does not always recognise the totals and other fields automatically so a lot of manual editing is required. Different receipt formats stump Neat.The soft ware should allow the user to recognise the different types of receipts. The promise of excel lists is not quite as advertised. This should be automatic. The software should also be more international , currently its set up for American tax only and oct is not multi lingual. You can however change and add new fields so with a bit of work it will be useful. Overall once you have adapted the software it will be useful and just to get my receipts saved and logged is worth it. Completely automatic it is not. May be in the future Neat will update the software to allow the user to teach the software to recognise and remember different receipt formats. May also in the future it would be good to be able to switch with between excel and neat files at the click of a button.( just a suggestion)

I have friends that swear by it, but when I scan the receipts dont always scan in straight and I feel like Im creating more time and work for myself. I have my eye on the Evernote scanner that seems to scan 25 pages at once. I think Neat has something similar. Going to sell this one back when I get a chance.

This is the third different make of scanner I have purchased and for the purpose of records keeping it is the best. It is fairly accurate in reading and placement of my required data. Since I have had it 2-weeks, there have been several updates and improvements in the operations that you can choose to do. I would recommend this to any Mac person who wishes to be able to quickly log and retrieve information from their documents or receipts.

I bought a neat receipts for my wife who has a Mac running both Win 7 and OSX Lion. I bought the Windows version which didnt work through the Mac hardware. I downloaded the Mac version of the software and installed it on Lion. Neat software asked for a Product key which I typed and it didnt work for the Mac software. I sent an email to Neat customer support to see about getting a Mac Product key or to see if there was a way to make it work on Win 7. After 5 days and numerous mails, I never got a response from their support department. A friend with a Mac and the Neat Mac software had a similar experience with Neat support. She and I are both returning our scanners. This company is a joke. Dont waste you money and your time. If you do youll be sorry.

Scanner is amazing... But software needs improve. it doesnt remember categories connecting with retail stores, it is slow or occur errors for continuous scan and analyzing..

Did not work. Would not connect to my airbag. Called Neat several times and they said the device was broken. I would not recommend this product. My boyfriend has the larger model and it works but he has run into many problems with the eat software. Save your money. I would also not recommend this seller - He made me jump through hoops to get my money back and I had to open a case through Amazon before he responded.

Have been one of the first adapters of this scanner. From the beginning, this product malfunctioned, outputted poorly scanned receipts, with mediocre recognition for autofill. The customer service is horrendous, at least it has been when I attempted to get support last time 2 years ago. I have thrown away this product eventually, after giving it a last shot, for about 5 years and when I received another request to update the software, not being able to revive it after the install. Newer iterations might be better, but has been a truly poorly made product from its inception.
