Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 versus Neat Receipts for Mac: Which is the more cost-effective?

First, look at the sales rankings on Amazon and take them seriously. Notice the reviews of the Neato and it's enough to put you on to the Fujitsu with great speedo. And when it's a significant number of reviews, like way up in the double digits, you know they haven't been skewed by company reps, etc. But I've just found a review of a Canon personal scanner--the Formula P150--that ranks it above the Fuj. 1100 and 1500. The haven't reviewed the Fuj. 1300, but in my mind Canon trumps Fujitsu, just as Fujitsu trumps Neato (except perhaps in television hype).

I only use the basic scanning software. I wasn't very fond of the card tracking software, and I'm not sure it includes a receipt manager. But from the reviews, this scanner is far better than Neat. And hardware-wise, I've been very happy with the Fujitsu. I do however use a service from shoeboxed.com to manage my receipts. This might be more of what you're looking for.

The simple answer is yes, Neat desk can scan photos. The scanner is fast and will work with other software such as Paperport. But the Neat software is tailored more for a financial mission and the scanner does not have a guide for all paper sizes.

I actually returned it - it was barely bigger than a paper towel roll if I remember. I ended up getting a Fujitsu ScanSnap s1300i and am very pleased with it. A little more expensive, but excellent scans, it's fast, and the multi-sheet feeder is convenient.

I really don't remember. But unless you have a special need for very long scans-forget about this scanner-it is junk. I returned mine. Get yourself a Fujitsu SnapScan 1500-really excellent scanner-I love it.

I use it to scan receipts. Full page items work best. But the receipts that are 3.5 inch wide work as well you just have to set it up. I use acrobat with a custom page width and the crop it for receipt length.

ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap™ 4.1 is the included version, if that's of any help.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

I second the recommendation of Evernote. I use a MacBook Pro, an Acer Netbook and an iPod touch to do my work. I have Evernote installed on all three, I scan PDF's directly in to Evernote on my Mac using a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M. I can then watch the sync happen on my Netbook and my iPod touch. Very useful and cool to boot.

I have my scansnsp set to deliver documents directly into Evernote. I use Evernote to categorize receipts etc.

Sorry that I can't help you. I am very happy with my Scan Snap S1500 and the new software that I downloaded when I changed my PC from XP to Windows 7. I gave up on Rack 2 Filer within a few months of purchasing it. The quality of the charaters in the displayed text was very bad. I tried to find some technical support on the Internet but couldn't find anything. I guess that Fujitsu knew that they had a bad product and decided to hide. I suggest that you give up on it and just use the SnapScan.

It scans receipts easily, the thin ones did better on straight pass setting like a credit card.The Presto Page manager was fairly easy to use for my limited purposes.The card scanning software sent with my unit was not compatible with Mac Mountain Lion it required a $30 upgrade. Which was why I sent the unit back. But the unit is beautiful.I did not try Greeting cardsPhotographs were not "Great" but I thought acceptable.I now own a Fujitsu that I am very happy with. I would have kept the Canon if it did cards.

the PC doesn't have TWAIN or ISIS support either. All of the ScanSnap models don't, and all of them use the proprietary ScanSnap drivers.

I have no idea - while the scanner has proved to be a good quality scanner, we gave up after lousy support to use the data the read, we just use the scanned files. it's a shame, really, as the concept appears great - but then again, their system can not even interpret any receipts in Euros.

it's so easy but... doesn't work well with thin papers. I love neat desk. It works much better. Neatconnect is best for who doesn't have computer at the moment scanning.
