AVOID AVOID- UNLESS YOU WANT A PAPERWEIGHT! [Posted on 2008-03-22]
simply put it isn't compatable with all recent versions of windows, there is a petition to try and get the company to respond to this. Until they do you should NOT BUY IT, and let the company know why.
A good idea, but needs more work [Posted on 2008-04-12]
I found the Neatreceipts scanner easy to use, but soon broke the first one I had by feeding in a regular (but slightly thicker) business card that got stuck in the unit. The software is clunky and it is difficult to save files into JPGs to print or send. Also the scanner feeds smaller papers in crooked most of the time, requiring you to hold the papers while scanning again and again. Also, I am using Windows Vista and had a very difficult time running the Windows Vista compatible software from their website -- so much so that I now am using it on a Windows XP machine to avoid the difficulties. I noticed too that they've come out with a 'new and improved' software version at their website -- but you have to pay for it! Overall, I'd say avoid this until they improve it -- unless you already do a ton of scanning with a flatbed scanner.
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! [Posted on 2008-04-20]
This scanner is awesome. I have scanned my tax receipts and had the total right away. As a teacher, I scanned students' work and put it up on the internet. I have scanned important document and put it on a flash drive. I have scanned every single business card I have ever had and tried to find more. This product is so awesome. It is not perfect and will not scan everything perfectly, so check all of the scanner work over. Nothing in this world is perfect. If you hate paper and receipt clutter, let neatreceipt help you out. Buy this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
Updated review: still junk Zero Stars [Posted on 2008-05-21]
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.
