Summary: disappointing
Comment: Two main problems:
1. uneven character recognition--for example, will sometimes record purchase price as $51.00 instead of the actual $51.53. Will often recognize total purchase price but not sales tax. Only recognizes name of store if it's in a "normal" type style, something few stores do.
2. no field for sales tax in the summary section. When I contacted their support staff about this, they suggested I use the "comments" section (which I had been using for other things). The date of the purchase is an important piece of information which should be included in the summary section.

Summary: Very Very Good but not pefect
Comment: The Neat Company NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System for Mac (White)
This little item works very well and very quickly but it isn't perfect yet. The scanner is good, it rectifies crooked scans, but the OCR can miss things. It can be amazingly accurate, and on the next scan it can get the vendor wrong, the price wrong or the details wrong. Nevertheless it's good because it is very easy to correct the mistakes and then the file of images and the reports it generates are great for record keeping and consistent with IRS standards. Particularly good if you have a FLEX (Flexible Medical Spending Account) and you need to keep records of all those copays, OTC meds, etc. Overall a really good product. Fix the OCR software and it will be perfect.

Summary: Great Product, Poor Retailer, Decent manufacturer warranty process
Comment: Bought fro ANT-Online. would not accept return, told me to read the small print. scanner froze after i scanned and shredded about 100 receipts. lost all info, and my data from the scans. very disappointing..not to mention costly, and frustrating. Program worked very well, but froze on my new macbook pro, which runs everything else seamlessly. The Neat company has quickly sent me another scanner, but ANT-made the process timely, and drawn out, obviously to retain their profits:-(

Summary: Excellent Cool Device
Comment: Very cool in style and function - just like my Apple Mac.
Compact, stylish, works great. Scan in all your receipts and store them in an organized database.
You can also scan anything else that will fit through the scanner.
It has really helped me get organized and get rid of lots of paper. I love this thing !!
It keeps getting better too as they release new updates to the software.
Get one !!

Summary: Great for archiving and organizing receipts / business cards
Comment: I upgraded from the Neat Receipts 3.0 scanner to the Neat Works 4.0 scanner package recently. I like the Neat Receipts 3.0 scanner, but the upgrade is really worth it.
For starters the quick scan center with the new version takes less system resources and it allows the user to enter receipts in batches, which is efficient. I was able to scan a pile of 277+ receipts in one night, while watching television. Pretty painless and easy to do without requiring a lot of attention, so you can make good use of downtime while you're watching TV / relaxing, etc.
The best part of this is not the physical scanner, it's the software. It allows me to look up previous receipts in a jiffy, and lets me shred / toss old receipts. The physical scanner is nice too though. It's definitely not photo quality, but that's not why I bought this package. The scanner works fairly well / quickly for most receipts, a bit better than the silver version even though they're supposedly the same hardware. I find with the older version the USB would fail to be recognized by Windows XP, but no such problems with the new version.
If you want to organize your receipts and keep good records, I highly recommend this package! It's the one of the few products that actually does what it claims to do. Excellent product.
Future improvement wishes would be speedier scans, but that is limited by the scanning technology and hardware specifications.
