The way the scanner's software works, apparently, is that you tell it what application you want to scan to: Yep, receiptWallet, Adobe, etc. I guess that's how it found all my PDFs in about 2 seconds, literally.Ī free utility that I downloaded from the receiptWallet web sight. This makes all your tagging searchable from the OS.

With Yep, your PDFs stay right where you put them on your hard drive.

Yep DOES NOT create a database of PDF files, which neatreceipts and receiptwallet do. These guys mention the scanSnap specifically as working well with their software. The PDFs don't have to be all on one hard drive. Since the Macintosh can print any document as a PDF (it 'prints' to your hard disk) this is not a limitation at all. This is great for archiving documents because of the universal acceptance of PDFs. Not MS Word, not Pages, not iTunes, not text, just PDF. Yep recognizes only PDF formatted documents. neatReceipts does OCR.Īutomagically searches your entire hard drive for PDFs and gathers them up into a iPhoto-like interface. I read several reviews that say it doesn't. neatreceipts DOES ocr your non-receipt PDFs. The web site mentions refurbished units for $99. Price in the neighborhood of $160 - $190. V2.0 of software coming out early 2009 to make feature set more complete like pc version. On the youtube video it looks like the software recognized the stores logo-like name and in my using ReceiptWallet demo for a few scans, the store name was not recognized but the jury is still out on that one. However I kinda get the impression that NeatReceipts might be a little smarter. I couldn't say which is better software, they both seem to be highly rated. Software does the same thing as ReceiptWallet. As someone earlier pointed out, I guess it's not searchable at the OS level. The software smartly recognizes receipt data - date, amount but it can keep any old PDF. Software (only, not bundled with a scanner) to put Scanned/PDFed receipts into a database.

You can see scanSnap 510, scanSnap 300M, and neatReceipts for mac running side by side.

Both Yep and ReceiptWallet documentation mention it specifically.įast, scans both sides of paper at once, does OCR w/ bundled software to make the resulting PDFs searchable. I get the impression this is a very good scanner. My Electronic File Cabinet Research, so far.
