The Neat Company - NeatDesk for PC and Mac Scanner with Automatic Document Feeder - White

Without a doubt, the NeatDesk has been the most important piece of equipment in our office. NeatDesk is the ultimate in saving time while literally oganizing every piece of paper that passes through. An absolute gem to work with. THANK YOU!

If you follow the instructions carefully you will be up and running in no time at all. Very easy to use, and the software is a HUGE improvement on my previous Neat version. The biggest downside is the price. I was in two minds whether to invest in a scanner that is so expensive. Still not sure if it was a good investment....yes it works well but I paid a lot for it! One concern I am having is after about four hours of use I'm now starting to see papers jam in the machine. I hope this is not going to continue, I'll report back in a few weeks once I've really put this to the test.

I purchased this because it is a good concept and organizes receipts and other documents very well. I have had the program and scanners for a few years. However, the buyer should be aware that the software can be buggy (NEAT has stopped working messages). The scanner can also be a challenge if something does not go well, like drivers installing correctly. Customer support is simply awful. I had sent them one email after another on their support page and never received a response. I eventually figured out how to solve the problems on my own, but hours and days were wasted. I even sent them an email asking why they would not respond. I received no response to that email either. I recommend getting an extended warranty from Best Buy. You will not be able to depend on NEAT to help you.

This scanner has saved me time compared to my flatbed scanner. The scanner itself should have adjustable paper guides as the paper goes through crooked many times. The auto correct for skewed paper does a good job however when this happens. I like the flexibility of what you can do with the files - export to QB, export to a file on your computer or even scan as a pdf right to your file. Would like to see a way to quickly link to common files or a way to have a file naming convention.You can choose to keep them in the Neat program itself. Fairly easy learning curve. Cloud storage is extra. I had a difficult time installing the software and now I have to open it by selecting "run as administrator" - but it works well once open. Overall, I'm glad I made the investment and I think it will ultimately save lots of time.

I was looking for a tool to keep my paper work up to date in my home office. It was easy to install - takes little room on the desk top - works easily. But now I have to learn how to store the data - it is a learning curve for me.

It is quite cathartic and fun to be able to get rid of a lot of paper in a short amount of time. Installation was very easy. The program does not have a lot of bells and whistles and tends to crash from time to time, but overall a great way to organize lots of paper.

I have been using the Neat portable scanner for about the last 5 years. I finally upgraded to the desktop and it is great. Much faster, and very accurrate. Having this, I redid my entire filing system, and I am using this for more and more things.

I use my Neat scanner to organize my lessons for each grade level. I like how I can scan the items that is double sided without a hassle. Most of my documents are now scanned to PDF. When scanning double sided or colored documents it does take some time to process depending on the computer. Black and white double sided copies are quicker. I scanned a 25 page double sided document and it took about 5 min. I tried the scanning business cards and it works just like it states. I bought the Neat program mostly to dwindle my stacks of documents from school. On a side note, sometimes it jams but it can quickly be fix. Once I loaded the program to my computer, I was able to use it.
