 Excellent for the road warrior September 17, 2008

I travel every week for work. Not some, not most, every week. I am also self employed, so not only must I file a detailed expense report for my client reimbursement, I must have very accurate records for my taxes. Neat Receipts does this all, and makes it a complete no-brainer. I don't know what others are saying about the OCR not working, however it is about 95% accurate for me, and considering the condition of some of my crumbled receipts that is simply amazing. Sometimes even I can't read them, but the OCR still figures out what they are for.
The export and reporting for submission is nothing short of a miracle and I don't even have any suggestions for them to make it any easier. It simply works.
My only complaint I have, and the reason it misses a 5 star rating is that the program is HUGE and takes considerable time to start up. I'd like to see it streamlined a bit - or maybe make some of the functions of this considerably complex software more modular as there is a lot there I don't, and will never, use. Plus the database engine sometimes gets out of sync if you have crash. Their INCREDIBLE, and I don't use that word lightly, INCREDIBLE technical support showed me the not so obvious method of fixing that and I have never since had an issue with the software.
Now if they would only get their Mac version to work this well - so I can't stop running this in VM Fusion (which works perfectly btw).
 Glitchy software September 13, 2008

Neat Receipts is a useful product if you have a need for portable scanning of receipts and don't mind the scanner jams and software that does not record receipts properly. There is a new version of software, version 4, being sold and billed by Neat Receipts but they do not have a product to download or ship so I have to wonder about their business ethics and products overall. I would have liked to review it but after paying for it, and waiting to be able to download it, then hunting on an low grade website for a link to download I found that a download product is "Backordered" and there is no adequate way to conveniently contact them.
Additionally, the product does not work with 64 bit processors but that information isn't available unless you call and ask, or install it and watch it fail.

I am an accounting and tax professional and I've got to say the Neat Receipts Scanner is the best tool I have ever come across. I had no trouble with the install on either my desktop or laptop. I am chronically behind in my personal bookkeeping and thought this might help me enter charge card receipts more quickly in my personal QuickBooks file. I was not disappointed. I have taken the scanner with me when I traveled (bought the case) and used it to scan tax records for preparing tax returns when I returned home. In reading some other reviews, I have found some potential answers to problems based on my own experience.
Some receipts have logos which the scanner can't read & I had to put those names in manually. There was no real fix for this one but receipt without logos generally weren't a problem and if it misread a name and I corrected it, usually it was correct on subsequent scans as the software learned.
I changed the expense and payment accounts once (if needed) and it remembered for the next time. For instance, if the software autocoded a Costco receipt to groceries but I actually only ever buy gasoline at Costco, it would remember that Costco was a gas purchase and then I'd only have to change it if it wasn't gas. I was able to code the credit card account for specific cards by putting the last 4 of the card number in parentheses.
Some people claimed that scanning to pdf caused it to be blurry. I figured out why when I goofed on my scanning. If you scan a receipt directly to pdf, it blurs, if you scan a document to pdf, it is not blurry. If I want a pdf of all the receipts, I scan them as receipts and then print them to the pdf file... problem solved... clear copies.
Only lines and not an image of the receipt. Yep... had this happen to... thought something was wrong until I realized I was scanning the receipt face up instead of face down. I did it correctly and had no other problem. [I don't really understand why you put the calibration sheet in face up when receipts are scanned face down, but hey... it works]
I was able to sort my receipts by payment method and block & import to QuickBooks by expense category. Doing it this way recorded the debits and credits properly. My only critique on the QuickBooks is in using the option to download the entire expense folder into QuickBooks.When doing this, you can tell it that all of a certain Neat Receipts expense account is the same as a selected QB account allowing them to be tied together for the download. Same thing for the payment accounts. When I reviewed what was down on the download, I realized it had recorded each charge slip as a "bill" and then paid the bill using the given credit card account. This caused me to have twice the entries that I needed in my QB and also didn't allow me to maintain "Other Names" as all payees had to be Vendors.
Overall I am very, very please with my Neat Receipts Scanilizer and have recommended it to a client who did purchase.
I love this product, recommend it highly and will never travel without it...
Easy scan to quicken September 11, 2008

I like using this to scan my receipts directly into Quicken Home and Business 2008. That way I can attach directly to my transactions and keep appropriate tax records. This is so much faster than scanning on my regular HP all in one scanner. Also easier to scan multipage documents to neat receipts, then upload to Google Docs.

NeatReceipts Professional Mobile Receipt and Document Scanner and Software Combination Version 3.0
I am a small business owner. I started using Neat Receipts few years back. Now I have less clutter in my life - Thank God for neat receipts. I can scan all my receipts, important documents and business cards. After scanning, I can easily search for any receipt, document or a business card. At the end of the year all I need to keep is a CD with all the files backed up in a PDF format which I can look up any time I want.
