I'm only interested in scanning receipt and have software which finds by itself the useful information in the receipt:
- Shop Name
- Amount Paid
- Date
Well I tried with a basic supermarket receipt:
- Shop name and date could not be recognised: even after I added the shop name to the vendor list, my receipt vendor is still automatically set to "Apple", and this word appear nowhere on the receipt. The OCR correctly see the characters "24APR2011" on the receipt, yet set the date to the scanning date.
- As for the price, it's only after I open the receipt and "re-analyse" it that the price is fetched and set (correctly). Since importing is so long and a first analysis is clearly going on, how come the price wasn't set in the first place?
The "bonus" bug is that the software doesn't seem to recognise my HP all-in-one wifi scanner, though I could have scanned receipt using Preview.
The features list is perfect to me, it just need to actually do what it is supposed to!

NeatWorks is at version 3.5 now and they had many years to fix the bugs yet it's still practically unusable. I made a short video review, hope somebody finds it useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUcSE6Mf7M

First - the "automatic" setup with my scanner didn't work. I managed to find manual instructions for setup on their web site, but these instructions aren't referred to in the software or the help info. I've reported this to their tech support.
Second - once set up, it's possible to scan directly from the ScanSnap into NeatWorks. However the results are useless - the numbers NeatWorks is reporting for receipts are way off.
I tried tweaking the ScanSnap settings, and got slightly better results, but still far from usable. Contacted tech support for help (e.g. guidance on optimal scanner settings), and first got a completely incorrect, irrelevant answer. Second response was at least on-point, but not helpful - they have no recommendations for settings or resolving this problem.
So, at this point, the software is useless to me (I don't want to buy another scanner - maybe it works better with their own scanner), and I'm waiting for either an update or guidance from them on whether I can get better results with different settings.

Other than that, it's a nice program for keeping track of receipts and records, once you've gone through all the hoops.
