It is more like windows explorer with better preview option. In terms of scanning, it is same as any scan software, you may use your computer's default scanner. What Paperport should excel is editing scanned documents, however it is so buggy you cannot use it. It is a good product in concept that could not mature in more than a decade.

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?

Thank you for your quick reply. What about the MF4690? I posted a similar question regarding that one. It seems much newer. Does it happen to have a function that somehow supports duplex scanning, without having to *manually* re-order the pages?

Yes - it easy to accomplish and hasn't presented any problems. Excellent home and light office scanner. And would recommend it.

Does the ScanSnap S1500 have an adjustable paper guide in order to handle business checks which would be my main use.Does the ScanSnap allow you to save files that you have created using Windows 7

Hi, I'm using just regular ScanSnap Manager which works perfect for me. It's Free and it can meet all required settings, quick and fast enough for any user. Very simple...

FWIW, I bought the Scansnap 1500 for Mac 6 months ago; use it with MacBook Pro. Haven't bought any organizing software yet, and so far, haven't missed it. I just run OCR in Acrobat AFTER I have scanned the docs (doing it during scanning takes too much time). When I want to find something, I just put the word in the Finder spotlight window, and 99% of time it finds the doc. I only 'name' docs that I think are really important (e.g. taxes).

Well I have yet to try the arcsoft scan-n-stitch aspect of the scanner but from what I understand it is easy to use and is seamless. You might want to scan through some of the reviews to see who has used this feature and if it is user friendly.

With NeatReceipts you have to have it connected to a computer. I'm not sure about NeatDesk but wow that would be a sweet feature!

This one is a stand alone product without the need to connect to a computer. However, the bigger issue is that the Neat company as a whole has absolutely no customer service. I would not recommend either Neat product. I bought it and I am extremely disappointed. Get a ScanSnap. You'll be much happier.

I did get them to work together, but I'd approach PaperPort 11 with extreme caution. There were so many problems with it that I ended up doing a complete reinstall of Windows. I don't know what Nuance did, but versions 10 and 11 ( and I had used PaperPort since version 3!) were disasters. If they ever come out with a version 12, I won't even touch it...it's not worth the risk.

the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and... » Read More the canon scanners are as good as i have found at pulling through whatever you put in them. the guides do not move far enough inward to hold standard receipts. that said the software does an excellent job at detecting documents that have shifted from an upright position and rotates accordingly.i have to ask, do you intend to feed through high volumes of stacks of paper? if you will only be passing through receipts and cards here and there take a look at the Canon imageFORMULA P-215. it's smaller, cheaper, does as good or better job at receipts, has a special card feeder, and uses the same software. « Show Less

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

The software is easy to use. I'm not sure about scanning business cards or other cards.

I have been using Paperport since the Visioneer days. Since Nuance took over, I have had nothing but grief with this product. It was constantly freezing in scan mode, sometimes freezing the entire computer. I have been living with it because I like the Explore like interface. Our small business is very scan dependent. When we had three clients screaming at us for their files, it was the last straw. I did a search and found FileCenter. We downloaded the trial, and just purchased the Pro version after an effortless changeover. The interface is fresher, new-looking and intuitive. There has not been a single glitch and effortlessly connected to the TWAIN driver of our multi-function Kyocera. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a PP alternative. You can find them at www.lucion.com or Amazon.

Yes. It is very easy to use. Good for BASIC documentation and storage. Don't know if it will hold up to today's school work.

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.
