I got an opportunity to review the
Neat Receipts scanner and Im totally hooked! I never thought I could toss most of the papers that I did, but it felt liberating getting rid of the paper clutter. Im OCD about organization and this little machine made my day. I’m now more organized than ever.

How does it work?
The scanner & software are so simple to use. All you have to do is load the software onto your computer and plug the scanner into the computer and an outlet.
After the software is loaded, just insert your document…
…and hit scan.
Once scanned, the document will pop up on your computer screen, where you will have a chance to name it and place it in your designated folder. You can create as many folders as you need. I created one for each of the following:
Home Repairs
Auto receipts
Insurance (life, auto, health, dental, vision)
Medical records
Vital Records
Business receipts
Taxes
Kids art
*Im still adding folders as I add documents.
Here is what the software looks like when you start.
Adding a folder is simple.
This is what the software looks like after a few receipts are added. Its very user friendly.
Look at this awesome perk for ordering a Neat Scanner this week:

I was not paid to advertise this scanner. The Neat company simply sent me the scanner to review my honest opinion of it.

I almost bought one of these a year ago, but instead I went with an all-in-one wireless printer. I think they’re very cool. Lucky you to get to review it! =]

I think they should send one for you to give-away to a lucky reader. 🙂
Are they only for mac computers?
The only issue I have with it, is not being able to return things with a scanned receipt!
Ok, that thing is really, really awesome!!!!!!
Um, I think I very much need that ;D
that is awesome!
Cool product! I would love to try that. I definitely think it would keep me more organized.
Oh how I wish they would have given me one to giveaway. 🙁 I tried. Next time maybe they will.
my life seriously needs one of those 🙂
super cool!

Wow! Amazed!! I have to get one of those! It would change my life LOL!!
Just when I thought I didn’t need anything electronic anymore after my digital photo converter….That would definitely require me to learn how to use my external hard drive…All the photos and documents on my computer…Yikes!!
Now I want one!!
I keep reading about these. Looks like a great idea!
This would help me declutter!!!
this looks great! my husband works from home and is forever using our printer to scan in receipts and this would be so much easier and more organized!
That’s a cool device! Definitely would cut back on paper clutter. The only thing I would still have to keep are the receipts for warranties, etc. So many of them are sticklers for the original receipt. I don’t know if they’d take a scan. But it is definitely something to show my husband. Would be good for scanning in all those Goodwill & other donation receipts that always seem to get lost before tax time.

I really like this. . . but this would require me keeping up with all of my receipts. 🙂
I would love one of these.

What an awesome product – I think we need one.
That is really cool! Kind of a virtual fire safe!
I’m super jealous!!! I’ve been wanting one of these for about 2 years now. I just can’t bring myself to pay so much for it. Wish I could review it. LOL!
How do you get these companies to send you stuff to review? I would love to try out some products and do reviews!
This “Neat Receipts scanner” is really cool! I wouldn’t mind having one myself, so that we could get of the extra papers around the house.
We got one of those for our Mac. We tried it out, but had problems with it either not being able to read any hand written receipts (from local businesses) or it would copy too much including the warranty info, etc. located on the back of the receipt, so it made the scan very messy. Sad to say, we’ve haven’t really used it since, which is really sad because I LOOOVE the concept of it and really hate paper clutter! Have you experienced this too?
I married an accountant- I SOOOOO need this!
