NeatReceipts NR-Refurb Scanalizer Professional 2.5 Mobile Scanner and Software Combination (Refurbished)

Love the Neat software but not this scanner. Had to do too much adjusting of the paper I was feeding thru to get a clear copy.

This product is awesome if you have a small to mid-sized home based business and cannot afford your own accountant or secretary. I think gets loads of use.

I order this product to make my income tax data entry easier. It came without proper software for MS Vista. I download software from manufactures website and installed. It immediately erased 10GB that is Ten (10) Gigabyes of my computer data and them proceeded to crash my computer. I lost many many important software application but only a few files, (I THINK) I had to reformat my harddrive and start over again. It has taken me 5 weeks to recover the full use of my machine.BE careful with the SOFTWARE Installation. It works fine now BUT....

When this product was added to the Amazon catalog, the software may have been up to date, but the current version is 3.0 and is a MAJOR improvement. I've told both NeatReceipts and Amazon that their product listing is inaccurate, but they have not changed it.The NeatReceipts people took pity on me and comp'd me a 3.0 license, but beware, you are NOT getting updated software.

I was really excited about the potential of this product becuase I keep every recipt for tax write-offs. This product made my expense entry times much longer and I had to re-enter the information once scanned since it would not pick up the majority of the basic information inputted. Needless to say, I have returned the product. Manual entry and an accordian folder is a better use of my time!
