Reviewed By Our Editors

A couple of years back, scanners used to be expensive and not very easy to use. Now, scanners are quite affordable and can produce high-quality images. The Neat Receipts Scanalizer Sheetfed Travel Scanner and Software is one such scanner package. It aims to give users an easy way to solve all their scanning dilemmas.

Neat Receipts has developed a lightweight, portable, durable color scanner, the Neat Receipt Scanalizer Sheetfed Travel Scanner. The said device is powered by the USB port, so no need to plug it in an electrical port. It scans quickly and easily without opening and closing the lid. It only measures 10.8” x 1.6” x 1.3”. Though the device is small and slim, it offers 600 dpi optical resolutions for impressive image quality.

The Neat Receipts Travel Scanner is considered as a sheet feed scanner. It includes a scanner body scanning the actual document and a feeder connected to the scanner body to transmit the document through a passage between the scanner body and the feeder. The Neat Receipts Sheetfed Travel Scanner is the easiest way for individuals and small businesses to manage expenses, prepare for taxes, create expense reports, and scan business cards. But it not all just for business, you can also use this Neat Receipts scanner for activities like scrapbooking, archiving family recipes, and other family activities. This scanner is also portable, which means that wherever you are, you can accurately scan receipts, documents and business cards. Patented technology scans items and captures data from the printed documents, then automatically organizes them into a database.

This sheetfed scanner designed by Neat Receipts uses advanced Optical Character Recognition. OCR is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer. This involves photo scanning of the text character-by-character, analysis of the scanned-in image, and then translation of the character image into character codes, such as ASCII, commonly used in data processing. In OCR processing, the scanned-in image or bitmap is analyzed for light and dark areas in order to identify each alphabetic letter or numeric digit. When a character is recognized, it is converted into an ASCII code. Special circuit boards and computer chips designed expressly for OCR are used to speed up the recognition process.

Neat Receipts is also generous enough to include software technology that extracts key information from your receipts, such as date, amount, payment method, expense category and vendor. If you scan business cards, the said device automatically pulls out information like name, company, address, phone numbers, email address etc. Additionally, this sheetfed scanner associates an expense category such as meals or lodging to a particular vendor so you don't have to type in the information each time. This ensures that your financial records are filed consistently with minimal effort.

Ideally, this Neat Receipts Travel Scanner is perfect for the office, home and even on the road because it is small, portable and lightweight.
