I have to finish my year of scanning 2010 into neatworks. For 2011 I will be using Paperless. I downloaded the trial. It scanned 150% faster than neat receipts, was better at placing the info in the correct fields, and didn't hang up at all! I litterally have sent Neat Co at least 100 emails showing them what happened. I am tired. I have spent more time editing information and scanning and debugging more than actually scanning and using the software. It is the most unstable software I have used yet. I think times are hard and they fired there lead developer so noone is working on it now. I say that because I get the same genereated response from them when I send them emails. Uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall. ENOUGH!!!! FIX IT!!!!! I want to stick with them but just can't justify it right now. Well it is actually the most buggy software ever.

HOWEVER.... it's buggy. It hangs on me all the time. It's frustrating. Since you can search from Spotlight and find your PDFs its not like youre afraid of losing data, but it's annoying because you do not want to lose your tags on your documents and receipts. As far as workflow, I'd recommend scanning from Snapscan straight into a folder, and then using Acrobat directly to do the OCR as a batch, and then drag the OCR-ified PDFs into Neatworks to tag them. I think the hanging comes when Neatworks tries to communicate with Acrobat on the OCR and hits a snag. That said, I'm sticking with the software for a few more months hoping they fix it, because it's REALLY well organized. I wish the Finder had the neatworks organizational ability built into the OS! That would ROCK. Neatworks is nice software, like iTunes for your receipts. HOWEVER…. it's buggy. It hangs on me all the time. It's frustrating.

It is important to remember that it works a bit differently with software packages than other scanners. the scanSnap pushes documents at the applications rather thatn the applications pulling the documents from the ScanSnap. Rather than Neat Receipts, another option is the forthcoming Paperless (formerly ReceiptWallet) by Mariner Software. I work at Mariner and was browsing around and saw this thread.

Has anyone used this? The videos on their website sure make it sound like organizational bliss! Does one need different software packages to handle different types of paper? The ability to handle receipts effectively for tax time is a huge turn on, but then again, ReceiptWallet appears to do the same thing. I just got my ScanSnap and am trying to figure out my workflow and software. I already have DevonThinkPro Office and Evernote Premium, but am not sure if either does receipts. Help!
