Use Neat Scanner Without Subscription
Neat has the same level of security as a bank so unless you plan on living off the grid you will have fewer and fewer choices in the coming years of what services you can use. Everything will eventually be cloud based. The benefits greatly outweigh the cons.
Original review: Jan. 4, 2019 I as many others on this site joined Neat early on and was excited about the possibilities and ease of the product.
The scanner never works as with each IOS update the Neat engineers take months to adjust the Neat product to interface. I can’t really say anything good as I have a scanner that is non operational 90% of the time. I bought the neat scanner for desktop use. Once I'd scanned in hundreds of receipts, an update moved all of my stuff to the cloud. Velamma episode 8 pdf merge. I can't access it anymore unless I buy a subscription.
I cannot deal with this much longer. Hi All, Here is my #metoo story about Neat Receipts.
Sam, Thank you for your research. I am totally overwhelmed and think a scanner might help but not sure which one and if I need other programs which hopefully you can suggest as well or someone else I can contact. My daughter has been involved in raising awareness and money almost $180,ooo to help fix kids hearts. She has been doing this since she was little (now she’s 15) Over the years she has met soooo many people that want her to stay in touch with them and she has literally a roomful of business card and people she would love to stay connected to. We have never figured out what database to set up to do this for her philanthropy work so that she can send emails that are personalized but wont take a ridiculous amount of time. She also routinely gets tons of emails and contacts from twitter and facebook that she also would like to stay connected to in an organized way. Scanning cards would be helpful but we need a way to organize and as her mom, I am overwhelmed and have no idea what to suggest to her at this point.
The software is reasonably easy to configurate and use and still gets maintenance updates. However some Mac users did report problems with this model, probably driver related. Based on the Neat Connect this looks VERY promising. Updated: 10am EDT At your earliest convenience, please install the latest NeatConnect firmware update. The most recent NeatConnect firmware update resolves a lingering Dropbox and Evernote connectivity issue. Important: This is a mandatory NeatConnect firmware update. We recommend all NeatConnect users apply the latest firmware update – even if you did not previously experience connectivity problems between the NeatConnect and third-party software integrations (Evernote, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive).
How To Use Neat Scanner Without Subscription
I can’t think of a single reason why segmenting an inbox by which kind of scanner, app, or input method you used would be relevant. The software does try to help you organize your receipts and business cards, and it does a decent job if that’s what you want it for. The desktop software is essentially identical to the cloud software. Everything syncs up quickly and easily. But it doesn’t add any of the functionality you would want from desktop software. There is also a NeaMobile app for iOS and Android that lets you browse your documents and “scan” documents using your smartphone’s camera. Using your smartphone as a scanner is a neat trick, but there are other apps, like Scanner Pro, that do a much better job of it.
Neat said that when Apple updated their program, it became not compatible with the new upgrade that we have. Neat said that it's gonna take a while for them. But how long am I gonna wait? I am so frustrated. I have a brand new business.
I bought the Neat setup about 3 years ago – probably 2015/2016. I didn’t realize the software I was using was dependent on their cloud-based setup. Used it for about a year, then my free subscription expired. I have maybe 15-20 statements to scan in per month – I wasn’t about to pay $10/month for life to keep doing that and have access to them forever.
Perhaps my best option is to buy a Fujitsu scanner certified for Neat and then move to their software. I do not care how my data is stored, be it in a database, as a collection of PDFs with indexing, or some other method. I do require that I can easily access what I need and that I can archive or purge old records easily. The worst part about Neat is that they do not seem to care how they have hurt their user base. When a company has such a loyal following it seems foolish to kick them in the teeth.
I don’t want to have to create a new database, and I’d like the documents to be stored in as little room as possible. And really, like someone else said, he doesn’t necessarily need the scanner as much as the software. Does ScanSnap have the same type of software – and automatically pull keywords, etc. Into a searchable data form / database? I haven’t done as much research on the ScanSnap I honestly don’t care, but I want it to be as easy and fast as possible – this is a one time job, and once those docs are scanned in, he probably won’t keep many hardcopies after that anyway. Well, after some research I see more clearly the pros/cons. They have a heavy-duty scanner with document management at the church, but since these are his personal documents, he’d like to keep them separate, so I’m trying to find the more cost effective way to do that (without creating something from scratch) I’m worried also about the amount of hard drive space scanning that many documents (with OCR) will take.
But I’m a programmer by trade and hobby as well. So it may just be that I write my own app this time around to scan and save to pdf, and stuff in a database in a way that links the separate pages together. About 1000+ pdf’s that I’d have to either find a way to get into it – lots of wasted time – thanks Neat Receipts – or maybe just put them in a folder and leave them be and hope I don’t need to sift through them all for something, and then just move forward with something that isn’t going to tie me to paying them for life to keep using it. Learned a good lesson on this one. I follow the posts on this site and understand the pain about which many of you write given the abandonment from the Neat Receipts company for desktop users. Shame on them!
Also, twice I've had to get support and NeatDesk has been very helpful. However, I'm not keen on their Cloud. It's a privacy issue. I don't know who in the Cloud is doing what. Also, sometimes I don't have a good internet connection and that can make things difficult.
Here a few statements of fact: – Doesn’t Support Custom Cover Pages on Reports – Cannot select which columns are rendered on Reports e.g. Client or Project Name – eMailed Receipt Error “Processing of embedded images in html not supported” Image is wiped – Cannot Pass Input Parameters to build Expense Report; One Template and its their way or no way – Support is dismal Chat Agents key in Keyword Search results and send you any result whether it’s relevant rot your inquiry or not; They refuse to answer binary questions for example is “X” supported Yes/No?
I refuse to have my banking information in the Cloud. For my information to be stolen or corrupted. I am still using NR Desktop for Win [most recent version; ha!] to try to prepare my LLC taxes for this year. Frightened about the ongoing DB crashes, I’m backing up the NR database LOCALLY ONLY every 15 minutes because of data integrity issues regarding the entries, graphics and database record pointers to mismatched receipts and DB records. Because ALL of my work life for tax purposes is in Neat for 2017 [and going back some years], I will reluctantly continue to work with it until filing this year’s taxes. However I’m holding ALL of my 2018 receipts for potential use in another product.
With the extremely sporadic functionality of both of my Neat usb scanners, I found a workaround recently, using my smaller Neat scanner with Image Capture on my Mac. I could just scan documents and receipts from the Neat scanner to my desktop, and then import those receipts into Neat Desk. It was great. That lasted a couple of weeks. Then I updated the OS on my computer, redownloaded the Neat drivers, and now neither of my Neat Scanners even work with Image Capture. This is a disaster for me because I’d gotten psyched about having a small, portable scanner to scan documents as well as receipts. Here’s another system I’ve used recently for getting receipts into Neat: Lay up to 7 receipts on my hp all-in-one’s legal sized flatbed, scan once for each receipt, crop the page around each receipt (one per page), save them to a folder, then import them into a pre-designated Neat Desk folder.
I do my Mother's books, so receipts from 2007 for her are tagged 2007 - Mother. Hope this helps.I just hate the thought of being in a position where I can't get Neat running & yet want to find a receipt. So EN is my 'backup' for this.
Many NeatWorks users may be interested to know that MAC users can employ Hazel to migrate content from the NeatWork document storage en masse. It took me about a week of tinkering with Hazel rules, but I was able to export all my files, rename them automatically, and import them into a parallel file structure that mimicked the folders I had set up previously in NeatWorks. Neat names files with GUID file names. But it stores meaningful filenames inside the files in the Acrobat meta properties. I was able to create a custom script that reads the meta properties in the PDF files, and renames and dates the files based on the intrinsic values found within each file. Now I’m free and somewhat future proof No more dependency on proprietary file storage technologies. I considered moving the entire corpus of documents to encrypted cloud storage.
You're saying Evernote doesn't have a PM. Actually I have no clue, but there's a lot of hardware and thousands of apps that interface with Evernote. Plus the API is freely available to any developer who wants to use it. I'd imagine you'd need an organization the size of the Pentagon to keep tabs on everyone linking to the software by one means or another.
Sorry to chime in again, but this being a user forum you tend to get other users (like me) commenting on posts - usually in a constructive way, whether or not that's actually appreciated at the time. Why would Neat listen to Evernote - what is EN going to do, block their database access somehow? And why would Evernote take up the case of (all due respect) less than a dozen of its 200M users against a third-party company with whom it (AFAIK) has no relationship at all?

After months of trouble shooting I managed to limit crashing (not eliminate) by replacing a PC, changing physical scanners (from Neat to the excellent Fuji Scansnap) ONLY scanning a SINGLE page at a time and using a seperate folder to scan into, then drag and drop across to that once-great platform Neat. Different computers do result in different results (don’t know how, but they do) and one of my Neat scanners suffers much more from a random black stripe down the centre third of the page than others – again strange. I haven’t managed to troubleshoot anything other than ‘random’ with this black stripe issue. That’s the now atrocious products they sell. Now the ‘customer support’. I appreciate providing support to such a woeful (why are they doing this to me??!!!????) product must be soul destroying, however, trying to extract something sensible from Neat Support themselves is like dealing with an ex-spouse’s mother after a lengthy divorce. Absolutely horrific and infuriating.
