NeatReceipts for Mac Scans, Reads, and Organizes Receipts

NeatReceipts showed its upcoming Mac version of its scanner/software for cataloging receipts at Macworld.

NeatReceipts for Mac scans, saves, and uses optical character recognition (OCR) to save receipt data into a catalogue. It will automatically identify key terms like total, tip, and tax lines and categorize receipts appropriately. A custom-made coverflow view for browsing stored receipts is also available.



For the technically interested, the product is a Cocoa application that uses CoreData for its database and PDFKit for receipt image storage. The company is working on business card support for integration with Address Book, and version 2 will hopefully/probably integrate with Quicken, though no promises.

The company plans to release the product at the end of March. The full version which includes the receipt scanner will ring in at $180, but a software-only version compatible with any image-capture compatible scanner will go for $80. Users of the Windows product can get the Mac version at no additional charge.

I thought this was awesome actually. Receipt management is an ongoing issue for me.

The ability to scan automatically sort receipts based on OCR seems really useful.

Yup, this is a plus for small business owners who own Macs. I can finally get rid of all the boxes of receipts I have in the event of an IRS audit :D

Looks like a pretty nice piece of software, this could save me a lot of time organizing all of my receipts. Anyone know what the differences are between this and receipt wallet? Anyone use receipt wallet and have any feedback on that?
Thanks,
Mark

I assume this is needed for people that need to keep receipts for tax purposes?

What else good would it really be for? No store is going to take a 'photocopy' of a receipt for return purposes.

Urr, just buy a Fujitsu ScanSnap.

Why limit yourself to receipt scanning?

I have a ScanSnap and it's WONDERFUL. I scan everything from documents to pay stubs to receipts to business cards. I can't imagine buying such an expensive machine that only serves one purpose.

My 2 cents.
