Best of Breed for Mac! 5 by .. White Squirrel Books (Deep in the rainforest of western NC)
I received an advance-release of this product at WWDC08 in June 2008, and I've been playing with it ever since. It is top notch in every regard. The hardware is small and only uses the USB port [no need to find an A/C plug!]. The software is even better, as it grabs data right from the scanned receipt; no need for retyping in most cases!

This is a high quality product, and feels like something Apple has made, as even the packaging is tidy and well organized.

I highly recommend this over the currently offered shareware solutions. The software is really top notch, and the scanner is portable enough to fit in a laptop bag easily.

Great Scanner 5 by .. Leonard R. Giordano (Inverness Florida)
This is the third different make of scanner I have purchased and for the purpose of records keeping it is the best. It is fairly accurate in reading and placement of my required data. Since I have had it 2-weeks, there have been several updates and improvements in the operations that you can choose to do. I would recommend this to any Mac person who wishes to be able to quickly log and retrieve information from their documents or receipts.

Neat Receipts - the best organizer ever! 5 by .. Eppie (SC, USA)
I've had a Neat Receipts organizer for PC for 4 years and absolutely love it. My dad has a Mac and has wanted to use a program like NR so I was thrilled to find they now make one for Mac. The software loads easily, great tutorials, and works immediately. The product is reliable, easy to use, and a time saver. There is a learning curve b/w the PC and Mac version if you have used the PC version. The document scanner makes emailing documents an option so that a fax machine is not necessary. The money and time it saves on taxes pays for itself the first year. The Mac version has fewer capabilities than the PC version, but that will change ~ Neat Receipts is great about updating the program to expand its functions.

paperlessness is possible 5 by .. Tim Gummer (Auckland, New Zealand)
After various attempts to tame the mounds of paper that threaten to engulf my office, this package has the best chance. The scanner is a thing of beauty in itself. The software is very, very stable (Readiris take note) very cocoa yummy, mac OSX friendly. There is a capability to produce SEARCHABLE standalone OCR/image pdfs independent OR file within the neat office ecosystem, which is excellently designed, and probably the best way to manage receipts.

In truth, the OCR is only about as good as anyone else's, so that means that receipt or business card scanning still requires quite a lot of hands on manipulation. That said, its stable (did I mention that?), the data management is elegant, receipt scanning/analysis is still reasonably efficient, and I've been able to pressgang my 12YO into handling it.. in lieu of her running wild with my itunes account.

Neat appear to have a commitment to upgrading the software - my WISHLIST for future development includes:
Evernote integration (I'm sure they are working this as I write)
Batch applicable editing (eg Tags, categorization etc
Tonal adjustment of scans (to reduce background noise and cruft)
TWAIN for third party image photoshoppery (assuming this doesn't exist somewhere already)
Generally smarter OCR.

But all in all, this (after a seriously disappointing experience with IRiScan and Readiris), is the first practical solution I've experienced. Incoming paperwork that might be needed is efficiently scanned, OCR'd, and recycled.. (now coming to an egg carton near you).

Neat is highly recommended.

Neat Receipts is a great tool for small business. 5 by .. Erika Greco (Orlando, FL)
I would recommend this product to anyone who is running their own business or needs to be able to easily track expenses. The "Print to Neat Works" feature is great for all those receipts for online purchases and the scanner is really quick and has pretty accurate OCR.
