Here’s the product page with a nice video description of the scanner… offered for $200 too! Again, Woot’s got a deal here…assuming you have a use such a scanner.
Is this a good solution to scanning home receipts, letter size receipts from invoices etc? The amount of paperwork we get is ridiculous. I’d love to throw away all the receipts, but I guess stores still need the originals? Grr
I’ve got this, and it’s fantastic. The software gets a little cranky when I’ve got a couple hundred items that I’ve scanned but haven’t filed yet, but there’s a remote possibility that might be my fault.
The scanner feeds well, but sometimes gets stuck on paper with a crease. Fold the paper the other way or pull it through gently and the problem is solved.
The software is useful. It will auto-detect what you’re scanning and figure out if it’s a receipt, business card, or document. Accuracy here is about 90%, and it’s easy to move items from one category to another. Once something is scanned into your inbox, you review the item if you like, update fields like vendor or dollar amounts, categorize for taxes, and file.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that when backing up, the software exports the data and then zips the files. That’s great, but I decided to scan my grandmother’s recipe cards so I could index them and share them with a cousin, but I’ve got so many cards that the backup file was suddenly too large to zip. I had to export the recipes and delete them from the database in order to be able to do a backup.
