Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner and Digital Filing System for Mac
Customer Review: After 2 years of beta I give up on this product
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this as the adv release in 2008 and gave up on this product a couple of months ago (April 2010). I had high hopes and I faithfully defended Neat as a work in progress. Well there is nothing neat about the Mac version. It has major flaws. I only wrote this review after purchasing and using a scan snap and realizing there are quality scanners.
So on to my complaints:
-The application as of version 3 is still terribly unstable and I was constantly having to re-index my data.
-Crashes are common
-Scanning is slow.
-Can only scan one side with the mobile scanner
-The design of the scanner is such that if you have a jam, you are guaranteed to have to run the alcohol cloth thru many times. Unlike my scansnap which opens up so I don't have to jerk paper thru it.
-Processing text recognition is slow
-Auto correction for misalignment is limited
-The software is set up to lock you into the product. True you can export the pdf's but it's painful. I have slowly been doing it for months, as I transition from Neat to just folders in OS X.
-The scanned files are enormous in size which makes the whole applications data file very large. Two years of scanning for me left me with like a 3-4 GB data file and most of my scans were in black and white. My scansnap cranks out a color statement with text recognition equaling about 220 KB (which is on the large size for the scansnap) while the same file in Neat Works is about 2-3 MB. It's ridiculous.
-You can not search the pdf files outside of the application using spotlight, you have to open the program and search inside Neat Works. In my opinion it's as if the people at Neat built the application to lock users into it. Sacrificing functionality for the ball and chain. What Neat Works does is create meta files for the pdf's and image files, then tucks the real pdf somewhere un-searchable and gives it a 50 character encrypted file name. I suppose the meta data file has this coded name tied to it. And if you do find the pdfs there unusable anyway because of the file name (MEOCMEIVI-230480985-QMJENIVJJ-ZLEPFNWIVJ-MDOVJ38VNEI for example).
Now I own a scansnap S1300 and I couldn't be happier. The scan snap along with a logical folder system in Mac OS X is the way to go for me. With the speed, quality and features of the scan snap I can knock out 2 months of statements and receipts in the same amount of time it took to do 2 weeks worth of docs and receipts using Neat Works. And it's not just to blame the scanner, the application is slow too.
