Once you fix the problem it has with Vista concerning the database, which customer service quickly guides you through, you're in business. The software it comes with is a little buggy for Vista 64, but when the scanner is used with Adobe Pro 9, it's a dream. Super fast and does a great job.

Also, the software it comes with is great (despite the bugs) as it actually reads the receipt and has the tax schedules in a drop down box to select from in terms of business expenses with little tax tips for each one and a brief explanation.

This is really a product to try out. Like the line in Pulp Fiction goes, once you try this, you will know where that extra money went.

I also use a Xerox Documate 510 at another office I work at, which is good, but I wish I had the NeatDesk everywhere I went.

The business card feature is also great and how it physically scans them and receipts with a special feeder (which is very forgiving) is really nothing short of a miracle.

I have had this for about a week and thanks to the backup feature to multiple drives (one of which is backed up to an offsite drive), I feel safe shredding and getting rid of all that paper.

It is small and has a good look. They haven't marketed this product well, but it certainly is a sleeper hit of 2009 as far as I am concerned.

It's a good scanner and the software is very clever at parsing business cards and receipts. It is very good at just grabbing a load of documents and scanning them in with little effort. My biggest problem with the product was the software. For some reason it saves the documents into a database only and exporting them takes more time than creating them. I also never understood the tagging features as that's just not the way I think when I'm looking for documents. In the end, it was too expensive for the trouble and I ended up returning it. I'll just get a regular scanner and save the files where and how I want. Also, as a side note, the software only works from the user's computer so saved documents in the database aren't really available to other users with sharing. Bit of a nuisance when you use one computer for data storage and another for daily tasks.

          Comments about Neat Company NeatDesk Scanner:

          This scanner is extremely easy to set up and use. The OCR needs some help but no more than any other software I've used. It would be helpful if the paper guides were adjustable. Having odd size paper can cause paper jams and tilted copies. It is very easy to add folders and to move documents from one folder to another. The fact that the information can be exported to Quicken, and Turbo Tax was an added benefit that I was not aware of when I purchased this product. I currently have 3 file cabinets filled with paper, I can't wait to be able to shred them all. I have not tried scanning photos because that is not why I purchased this product. I will probably stick with my flatbed scanner for those tasks, but I may give Neat a try just to test the capabilities.

            I have a very busy and responsibility filled life style between home and work and special needs family members. Organization is crucial to keep things running smoothly and to have accountability for various important recordkeeping needs. I've been wanting to purchase this item for some time, but needed to save for it--the price is a bit steep. However, it is worth it! Paper control at last!

                A:

                The Neat Company NeatDesk Scanner is more geared towards keeping all your receipts, documents, etc. in one manageable place. For scanning and saving old pictures, you could use an all-in-one printer, such as item 951136 as an example. The images would be saved to a file on your computer. You could then choose to burn to a CD or DVD. CDs and DVDs of today are better quality, choose one that writes once, so they can't be written over. For more technical assistance, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of a printer you choose.

              Would this be a good scanner for a small medical office to scan files for document storage.

              1 answer

              • A:

                This would be a very good scanner for a small office. This unit can scan 25 pages-per-minute (PPM) in grayscale/B&W, and 8.5 PPM in color at 200 dpi. At 300 dpi, it scans 7 PPM in grayscale/B&W, and 6 PPM in color. The database software included with the unit can scale to approximately 1.5 million receipts for storage.

              Hello, I was wondering where the documents get stored after the scan? Do they exist on the hard drive of your computer or do they go in some cloud, (Icloud) as it is advertised. Does the user designate where the files are stored or do they automatically go to the "Neat Cloud"?

                The USB cable comes with the scanner, but the ink toner does not. You don't need ink toner as this is a scanner, and scanners don't require ink as they are just stored as a graphic onto the medium which you will be scanning the documents to.
