Although the app must be running in order to use the scanner, you can press the PDF button on the scanner and scan right to folder of your choice. You can also bypass scanning into the NeatReceipts library. Once the document is scanned it is automatically OCR’d which makes it searchable in Spotlight. So there is no need for any kind of interim format. The NeatReceipts scanner scans everything to PDF on the Mac. Documents and receipts that you scan are neatly filed away in collections (which are in Libraries).

The bundled software is designed to be your electronic filing cabinet. Had I never used the Fujitsu ScanSnap I wouldn’t have given the speed a second thought. Although slower than I imagined, it is still very acceptable. The NeatReceipts scanner only scans one side at a time and takes several seconds to scan an 8.5″x11″ page. I was spoiled rotten by the Fujitsu scanner which is the fastest scanner I’ve ever owned.

NeatReceipts for Mac won’t win any races for speed. I then ran the simple calibration procedure and I was ready to scan. Of course there was a newer version available online and I downloaded that version and installed it. When my NeatReceipts scanner arrived I unboxed it and installed the software from the CD. I wanted this scanner to serve as a portable filing solution. I already have a portable CanoScan scanner for photo scanning when I travel to see family.

Now make no mistake, this scanning solution is designed for DOCUMENTS, not photos. When I got home I ordered the NeatReceipts for Mac version. Of course Staples was out of them and it was probably a good thing since there was a newer model available online anyway. I was intoxicated by the small size of this scanner. I looked back and saw the NeatReceipts display. I was standing in Staples the other day looking at point and shoot digital cameras and the scanners were right behind me. While Fujitsu does over a smaller model, it’s still costly at a list price of $295. One that would be small enough to take on the road if need be. Having become a fan of the Fujitsu ScanSnap for Mac, I’ve been interested in having a more portable solution.
