Review on πŸ“š Efficient Digital Filing Made Easy: NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Filing System for Mac by Kody Bradley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very easy to use, some features may need adjustment

This scanner saves lives. As the head of the house, I get tons of receipts and it's absolutely annoying to organize them all. This makes it very easy to organize not only my receipts but also my regular paperwork. Now I scan almost everything. The OCR recognition works well. If I type a word or two for what I'm looking for, the documents are quickly listed in the search results. First you need to spend a little time making the system "smart" - the first batches of receipts you need sometimes need to link information from the receipt to the right field, which is a simple drag-and-drop . After doing this, I find that when I scan the receipt again from the same store, the system automatically enters the data. Folders in the computer's operating system. However, it's missing some core features that I'd like to see developed. If you want to enlarge the receipt, you must first click EDIT to open it in a separate window, after which you can enlarge it. This extra step may seem insignificant, but when you have 50 receipts, that's a problem. I really don't understand why they don't just do that so I can increase verification on the main screen. Also, the scanner should be able to process the pages that were in the folder better. Often the paper stopped passing the scanner and ended up looking blurry on the screen. I think I have to do it again and again. While I'm glad they increased the length of the scannable receipt, I still find this frustrating when scanning long grocery receipts because sometimes the scanner just stops scanning even if it didn't pull in the entire receipt.

Pros
  • Scanner
Cons
  • Faulty
