ScanSnap vs. Neat Receipts? Just recently heard about the scanning solution but was referred to Neat Receipts. Does anyone have any comparative data between the two machines? I understand that Neat Receipts can scan both sides of a document in one pass.Also, it seems that the document handler on the ScanSnap has greater capacity.What are the user experiences?

I Agree with Chaley,I loved Neat Receipts version 3 & 4. Unfortunately, version 5 lost all export functionality (the export receipts are unreadable, and the adjustments can't be saved)), and tech support has been unable to help. I wish it weren't so, but after months of trying to get help, they've lost me as a customer forever. Now I print to Adobe pdf, and/or scan from within Quicken. Simple and effective. Sorry Neat, but you seem to have gone the way of profits at the expense of functionality and customer service.

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've used and loved NeatReceipts for years. Then they went and created Ver 5 of their software which is horrible. Not only is it slow but it simply does not allow one to keep track of expenses as well as any of the earlier verisions of the software. As a matter of fact I deleted version 5 and reinstalled ver 3. Also their scanner literally crawls at a snails pace with the newer software. Go figure? You would think that an upgrade would be an improvement.

I was thinking the same thing. Just had the wring tone, like an infomercial.

Be aware that with neat receipts, even though they did this great overhaul on their software they continually refuse to make it backwards compatible. This has been a complaint for YEARS and they just refuse to listen. i have spent 2 weeks trying to get archived receipts from 2008 and 2009 to version 5.0. I HAVE to have these receipts available, but neat just doesn't seem to understand that people need to have access to their archive. I have had to go to an old computer, reinstall the old software pull the archives back into the working software and slowly work my way up to 5.0 to have access. Ridiculous.I will never ever ever use neat receipts again.

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.

I dont know to be honest. All I know was that the version I had crashed constantly. To top it off, I was casually informed by their customer service one day that about 2 years worth of saved receipts and documents were gone. No notices, or heads up about this.. just sorry, they are now gone.. I wouldn't buy a ream of paper from this company much less a piece of equipment to scan valuable documents..

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.

Hi, Please find out if theScanSnap S300M keeps copies of items that I've copied via it, and, if so, how I can access them. For example, if I've used it to copy & then print a page (and did not save it on my computer), can I later go back and re-print it?

I don't know about receipt, but i can tell you that i scaned A4,A5 and even smaller papers, all in one set and this scaner just do the work. either for thin paper or for thick ones.i scanned with this machine ten of thousands of paper with great results.

That is not why I use the scanner. However, the scanner can scan that type of paper and a skinnier width. The issue may be with the continuous nature of the roll (unless you are talking about single receipts, then it can definitely handle it).

NeatConnect is a cloud based scanner. You can scan from anywhere into your cloud account or computer. The other scanner requires a connection to your computer to do so. Check out Neat.com for additional information.

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.

I never heard of one - its a scanner with a built in program/app designed to co-ordinate your receipt/expense categories...it took me too much time to wait to scan - still use my 'shoebox' approach and 'organize' on my own spreadsheet every dozen weeks or so when I have a chunk of 'down time'. Just haven't made time to adapt.

I have only done a some book scanning, but what I have done it shows 2 pages per pdf page. I don't find that to be a problem and there may be a way to put one page per pdf page. What I like is scanning odd shaped items or a stack of different sized receipts. In this case each receipt has its own pdf page.

What is a thermal receipt? I scan paper only. I do not know whether it will scan thermal receipts or not. Sorry.

If the photo is flexible, it should scan. I have not tried, for my NeatDesk puts a line on the left side of things in color mode, and I have struggled with Neat to get it replaced. So while I am in that process I only use it in black and white mode.

Neat receipts must be connected to computer via USB. Cannot answer regarding Neat Desk.

I had the same problem. They said go into REG EDIT and delete anything in the registry to do with Neat. That worked as far as installing the program so I could open it on my screen. But the scanner itself hasn't worked yet. It's telling me no drivers loaded. That's where I am right now. I've been messing with this for almost a week now! I really wanted this...was all excited to ditch tons of paper. Now I'm pretty much ready to give up and return it.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

I have only used it for documents. But I did put a few receipts and half size sheets of paper through which it scans but saved as a full sheet of paper. I can say it scans both sides simultaneously. Best of luck!
