Hi SusanThanks very much for your post. Please note that Intuit/Quicken Essentials WILL NOT transfer the Investment Account Transaction Histories that you may have had in Quicken 2006-2007 with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Make sure you or anyone reading update their investment account transaction downloads before they convert to Quicken Essentials. Quicken HOPES to rectify this in Q1 2012 with an upgrade. Spent 2 hours on phone with India Customer Support to work through issues this week.

A version of Quicken 2007 for Lion has just been released. It can import from older versions of Quicken as well as Quicken Essentials.

I spoke to a person @ Quicken who said it is compatible with Lion. I shall see when I load the software.

If you had no need for quicken before this, I think you can just scan in your receipts and total them with your adding machine. I find it helpful to name the scans by date and subject, ie: 3.12.12LipitorRX. The program will had the ".jpg at the end.Simple.I love, love, love my snap scan.

So, as a Mac owner who has none of the above, I'll have to buy SnapScan AND Quicken? Seems like a lot to put out for a way to track receipts for medical expenses. Sounds like NeatDesk for Mac would be better for me. Any advice?

Maria,Re: Fujitsu SnapScan for Mac...I am in the same situation as you...Mac with Lion OS, plus Quicken for Mac. I want to take all the receipts I accumulate each week, drop each into the Fujitsu SnapScan and have them scan directly to my categories in Quicken, for succinct tax reporting.I finally reached a Fujitsu sales rep who checked & said it is possible to have SnapScan link directly to Quicken. I called Quicken and learned they are compatible with SnapScan. SnapScan is a partner with Intuit/Quicken (on their website). I am ordering the SnapScan today. I expect success!Susan Maria,Re: Fujitsu SnapScan for Mac...I am in the same situation as you...Mac with Lion OS, plus Quicken for Mac.

I learned on the Intuit/Quicken web site that Quicken is NOT compatible with Lion. Are you saying it is?

I'm not familiar with the neat scanner, I do not use quickbooks, and I also do not use Windows 8. If you can upload PDFs to quickbooks then you should be able to upload PDFs scanned by this scanner. I used this scanner with Windows XP. Regarding using it on Windows 8, I would go onto the Fujitsu website to see if they say if the drivers they have for this scanner work with WIndows 8.

Neat charges you a monthly subscription fee for their software / cloud which isn't nearly as good as Evernote. Of course Neat fraudulently advertises that their products works with evernote but it's been down for 2 months because of a BUG IN NEAT'S software with no ETA of a fix. The Fujitsu is a much better product / company.

The software is very user friendly. It scan business cards, greeting cards, credit cards, licenses, etc very nicely (both sides in one pass). I am not sure how it will do on receipts since they are faily narrow. It will most likely work fine, but you will probably have to guide it with your hands during the scan.

I scan just about everything, including receipts, but I am not sure what you mean by 'record' receipts. If you mean to categorize them when scanned, you can do that by the file you save a receipt(s) in. I must say this is the best scanner I have ever had used.

I used and enjoyed Neat Receipts for many, many years going from version 1 through 3+ then they came out with the last two versions that are totally worthless. The scanning works fine but the software receipt management is worse than throwing every receipt into a bag. Solution ??Yea very easy For receipts & documents I use the CamScanner app on my iPhone. Works great. For contacts ScanBizCards on iPhone works every time and sends the scanned cards to my computer contact database. Last week needed to review a few hundred documents and copy about 50. CamScanner did the job fater than could have been done with Neat Receipts and I never experienced a scanner jamb.

I have no idea - while the scanner has proved to be a good quality scanner, we gave up after lousy support to use the data the read, we just use the scanned files. it's a shame, really, as the concept appears great - but then again, their system can not even interpret any receipts in Euros.

Yes, it easily scans receipts. I've used it for scanning them for expense reports at work.

Sorry but I do not know that answer. You can probably contact Neat receipts and ask if they have a compatible version.

Scans come out just fine for our purposes. Then again, this was not bought strictly for its scanning abilities. Ours is used in a small business office setting. Hope that helps.

Due to my business travel, I use the scanner on three different computers (macs) and have never encountered any licensing issues nor has it asked me to register the software. Just download the scanner driver from the Internet website or use the cd that comes in the box and you're ready to go. I use it for scanning documents and my expense receipts and it works perfectly.

The NeatDesk is a scanner and you can scan your recipe's, however it is an image and not typed text, so it may not be edited.

The software that comes with this scanner isn't that sophisticated--I'd be shocked if it could do that. I often scan multiple receipts at the same time, and at no time does it treat them as separate entities, it just crops the entire main image. If you think about it, the scanner would have to know whether or not you were scanning a photo in order to determine if there were multiple photos present, since any standard document has large gaps of white that could fool the scanner into thinking it was multiple images. Since that's a software function anyhow, you can do that in most any other image handling software package like ACDSee, Photoshop, etc. The software that comes with this scanner isn't that sophisticated--I'd be shocked if it could do that.

I'm not sure which scanning software you use but it sounds like a setting inside the program rather than the scanner itself. As an accountant and income tax preparer, I use the scanner with 3 different scanning software programs and haven't run into this problem with any of them.

it's so easy but... doesn't work well with thin papers. I love neat desk. It works much better. Neatconnect is best for who doesn't have computer at the moment scanning.

I would also like that information. I am sitting on the fence and wondering which I should buy PC or MAC?Also how do I transfer my folders? I also have a laptop that is a PC and want to be able to use it as well. My family all say get a desktop MAC. But I am not sure it is worth it for me. I am a writer and I get my e-mail and that is about it. I hate being on the learning curve with the MAC. What to do?

I have both, and the ScanSnap gets my vote. The Neat Receipts idea is great, but the software didn't deliver. It was good at character recognition, but after scanning only 100 documents/receipts or so, it started loading extremely slowly, and got slower and slower each time I scanned a new receipt. It was basically useless, unless you want to wait 10-15 minutes for it to load, and the same amount of time to scan one receipt. I don't know about you, but my paper backlog amounts to a lot more than 100 receipts. I went out and purchased the ScanSnap. There's no character recognition, but if you just want to digitize your documents and receipts, the ScanSnap is your product. Compared to the Neat Receipts scanner (when first purchased) it is as fast (or faster) with single or double sided scanning. It automatically detects blank pages, and it has never once jammed. It creates a pdf wherever you want it saved, and I can easily email the document (which I often do, instead of faxing). ScanSnap is still as fast as the day I opened the box. It gets my vote hands down. Maybe someday they'll add character recognition to the included software.
