    Neatdesk for the Mac offers a lot of promise. The real question right now is whether you are prepared to spend the time to overcome the limitations. The setup is a breeze. The scanning part of the operation is very fast. There is a bit of a delay as the OCR part of the software analyses the scanned material, but you can work with the parts that have been analyzed if you have several "pages" being scanned at one time. The software is fairly intuitive at both identifying whether something is a receipt, a contact, or a document as well as pulling information off the receipt/business card/document to populate the data fields. You can create subfolders to sort your results. There is some ability to add fields for the data captured (i.e. for meal receipts you can create a field for tips (not in the default)) but the fields can't be moved around so the added field is at the bottom and you have to scroll past many fields you don't need.

    The real issue is the OCR accuracy and the need to correct the classification of documents (because the default fields are different for different types of documents). You can't just scan and forget. It simply isn't that accurate. On almost every scan you will need to edit the data for vendor, contact, date, or type of document. It's great that it captures what it does. But there is a time commitment that the hype minimizes.

    The other thing is the Neatdesk vs. the Fujitsu Snapscan. The Neatdesk is clearly better if your primary object is to capture documents for archiving like receipts where you don't need to manipulate the data or retrieve details in the scanned material. The Neatworks software is just much better organized for that. On the other hand it is nearly worthless if you are trying to scan documents that you later want to edit and use such as letters, spreadsheets, etc. The Fujitsu Snapscan is much more useful for the comprehensive scan jobs (although the OCR capability remains an issue - you will still have to proofread and edit each document if you are looking for 100% accuracy - 95% accuracy can be a problem in terms of missing data in broad searches and of course is completely unacceptable in any serious communication documents).

    I use this product ever day. Cons: it has trouble detecting only one or two pieces of paper, especially if it's a light weight receipt. It does NOT export to Quick books which is a major draw back. Unless receipts are in pristine condition, it will not automatically read all the fields and you have to manually enter them. It's better than using a flatbed scanner by far, but it's not as great as their website claims. (of course) I would recommend to fried with clear cavets.

    Comments about Neat Company NeatDesk Scanner for Mac:

    The Neat scanner is a great and effective tool and i like it very much. It is a joy to use with its speed and copying quality. Recipients of e-mailed documents have commented on the quality of what they've received.

    That said, there are occasional software glitches such as the software refusing to shut down forcing a computer reboot that can be annoying and inconvenient when it happens.

    In my opinion the software has many good features but isn't as refined or intuitive as it should be.

              • A:

                The scanner itself will work with either Windows or Mac, but the software that is included in the scanner package is designed to work with one or the other. This particular model comes with the Mac software, while others will be packaged with the Windows software.

            • Q:

              I am interested in the NeatDesk Scanner for Mac, but do not typically keep my laptop in the office where this unit would be housed. I am curious whether the unit requires that it be hard cabled into a computer or is it possible to send the information to my laptop via wireless router? If not, would I be able to hook the NeatDesk Scanned into my Time Capsule hard drive and scan/save information directly into the TC, then link my computer into that saved TC folder to review and manipulate the scanned documents directly in the hard drive?

              1 answer

              • A:

                The NeatDest Scanner for Mac is not a wireless product. It must be connect to a computer to be able to access the programs previously installed. This product only works if the correct programs are installed, therefore you can not hook it to a Time Capsule hard drive. The Scanner can not function without the software.
