14 DAY TRIAL // Neat Receipts helps you get rid of receipts and documents by scanning them and organizing them on your computer. Everyone fails to meet their payment deadlines and this why you too may rid yourself of some stress by using this scanner/software combo. The Mac version is now available for purchase, sporting platform-specific features too, for $179.95 ($50 less than the PC version).
As the makers themselves put it, "Neat Receipts is committed to helping you stay organized without the paper mess." Windows users are already enjoying the functionality of this organizing solution consisting of both hardware and software from the same company. Even better for the lucky sons-of-guns is that they can download the Mac-compatible software for free, as current Neat Receipts customers.
Given that the Mac version of Neat Receipts was developed in Cocoa (Apple's native object-oriented application programming environment for the Mac OS X), the software sports a Mac-specific UI.
However, the company notes that, for the time being, Mac owners are lacking some of the features found with the PC version of the Neat Receipts software. But, while January 2009 will see everything fitted into place with the Mac version, there are some new, Mac-specific features to be found as well. Those include drag-and-drop functionality, Image Flow (a version of Cover Flow), Smart Collections and more. It also costs $50 less than the PC version so you should at least hit up the Neat Receipts website to have a closer look at the benefits.
Speaking of which....
Using Neat Receipts, you will be able to: create a digital filing cabinet for all your important receipts and documents; create separate libraries for multiple businesses, projects or time periods; organize paperwork by groups; create smart collections (by vendor name, category or date); use intelligent Text Recognition to capture receipts in digital format; export receipt collections to a PDF expense report format, etc.
