NEAT Receipts for Mac shown at Macworld

The personal-organizer scanner space on the Mac has been fairly quiet since the departure of the Visioneer PaperPort from the platform (we miss you, guys!), but one of the leading new vendors is coming over to the Mac -- NEAT Receipts for Mac is here at the show and will be shipping later this year. NR's slim scanner an

d software bundle lets you scan and organize all your paper receipts on your computer, keeping records for expense/business and tax purposes without the clutter and mess.

The final pricing and availability for NR Mac isn't published yet, but what I heard at the booth is $180/$80 (with the scanner hardware or software only) shipping in Q2; you can use the software in standalone or watched-folder mode with most other Mac-compatible scanners. If you've got an envelope full of paper records that need the scanning treatment, check it out.

Totally in a different class, but I swear by my Fujitsu ScanSnap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16838115035

Yes - it uses OCR to recognize the vendor, amount, and date. If it's a vendor it doesn't know, you type the name in and it recognizes it from then on out (like the next time you have a receipt from that vendor). It also re-orients the receipt so everything is face up in the expense report. It works really well as long as the receipt isn't super faded. Oh - it also gives you the ability to annotate each receipt (like who you took to dinner, location, etc.) and prints the comments as notes for each receipt.

The big question is... If you get audited, is the IRS going to accept the scanned versions of all your receipts?

I've got NeatReceipts for the PC and it's pretty slick. I can take all my receipts, have it scan them in, recognize the vendor and amount, categorize them, export to my own customized Excel expense report (with all images attached) and send it to my clients with an invoice. What used to take make an hour and a half now takes 10 minutes. That being said, for $80, I'll just keep the PC version which is working just fine...

Wait, are you saying it automatically figures out the vendor and amount, by using OCR or something? Or do you still manually type that in per receipt?

I got Receipt Wallet from a MacZot special a long time ago. Seems to do the trick. What special features does NR have? $80 sounds a heck of a lot for just the software, as RW's website says theirs goes for $30.
