NeatReceipts Professional Mobile Receipt and Document Scanner and Software Combination Version 3.0

This is a little more complicated and time-consuming that we thought it would be. However, we have not used it a lot and will have a better idea near the end of the year when we do our taxes.

I love this thing! One of the best inventions ever. No need to keep receipts all over the place. Scan them and file them by category.
Can sort your stuff for you as well. No more excuses to be disorganized.

This is so much better than the new version. I bought the 4.0 new version for $80 more, and it turned out to be much slower than this one! I'm keeping this one without a doubt, so easy to use, so fast and so small and portable!

If you plan to use with bundled Neat Receipts software this scanner seems functional. We are a small business that has gone paperless and purchased this scanner for mobile use primarily with small/short document uses in office. The scanner is not compatible with Acrobat 8.2 pro using latest drivers available on Neat site. Acrobat recognizes scanner, allows scanner setup, then when scan is commenced Acrobat freezes and then closes. I went so far as to download latest drivers from hardware manufactures site, (Plusteck Opticslim 12) to try WIA driver and their TWAIN. I would not recommend this scanner for Windows Vista Acrobat users.

I purchased this from costco, installed it in about 15 minutes. Program is super easy to run, very intuitive. I am using the product for my small business to do away with all the paper that accumulates. I loved this version so much, I purchased the 4.0 upgrade yesterday and within three hours gave up on the 4.0, uninstalled it and went back to the 3.0 version. The 3.0 version is much easier and faster to use. You can scan multiple pages for one receipt, not so on the 4.0 version. The 4.0 version was cumbersome, not as intuitive and much slower from scan to file. I will happily stay with the 3.0 version. UPDATE I have reinstalled 4.0 and am very happy now! I was using 3.0 and scanning a ton of documents, I was using the smart scan, which was fine, but limited to 50 sheets before you have to file the documents. Since I am scanning in hundreds of pages, I thought I would give 4.0 another try. With the 4.0 Quick Scan I have unlimited scans before I have to file the documents, receipts, etc. I can quickly combine pages into one document and file. It is easy to select the file or create a new file if you need to. One thing I did not like about 4.0 was that you were not able to scan multiple pages from the Receipt tab, you have to use the Quick scan and combine the pages before filing, I guess I now have the hang of it and it is no longer a problem for me. LOVE THIS PRODUCT.
