Is there a demo of this. I downloaded the file and it is asking me for a serial number.

No demo available. It's a commercial app; the downloads we link to are for existing customers to update.

I downloaded and tried Neatworks since the feature advertised were exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately it falls short of deliverng what it is supposed to.
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!

While on paper and feature wise, NeatWorks looks absolutely fantastic, in practice it just does not work! - It is just so horrendously unstable, it's practically unusable!

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

Bought NeatWorks software to use with my ScanSnap S510M scanner (which they claim is supported) to scan receipts.

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.

It is not my spam filter. They responded within one hour of my posting the negative comment.

Really, it had to be pure coincidental. The statistical odds of someone or anyone working for that company seeing your comment And then giving a crap enough to some how track your support ticket down from a user name on macupdate is astronomically Not in your favor. But hey, anything is possible.

I just e-mailed Neat and version 3 is now available on their website. They wrote back saying that the S1300 will likely work, but is not officially supported. As a minimum it will be possible to scan to PDF and import the scans into NeatWorks.

This works well enough, but it's a real PITA to upgrade. You must first uninstall the previous version before any update will run. This then also requires that you re enter your license code (so if you've lost it, you'll be talking with their CS). Another small complaint I have is that when entering your license code, the cursor does not automatically move to each new field as you complete each section. Really, 'cmon? This isn't the 90's.

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

I've used the app's built in Check For Updates and it has always updated me ok without requiring an uninstall first. I can't remember if it prompts me for the serial number (it's been a few months) but I think you might be right on that point.
There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
