Neatdesk


I am not a techie and this device sounded too good to be true. Plus, I already have a scanner but I just had to try it. I must say it works exactly as described BUT if there was a search feature so I could find items I have to return and just print it out it would be divine! Here is the 411 from Uncrate:
"Get rid of the paper trail with the NeatDesk ($400). This compact ADF (automatic document feeder) scanner helps you declutter your desk and empty your filing cabinet, leaving more room for important stuff. Like snacks. With one-button scanning, the NeatDesk scans up to 10 receipts, 10 business cards and 10 documents at once (or a single 50 page document), and then organizes the copies and extracts the info for digital use. You can scan in a stack of business cards and populate your address book, or scan in a pile of receipts to auto-track your expenses (export to Quicken, Excel or Quickbooks), or scan in a document and turn it into a searchable PDF. The auto-organization and character recognition technology worked surprisingly well on the Mac unit we've been testing, and is going to make next year's IRS holiday a little easier to deal with. With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC."

Hi preppy in pink,
Thanks for taking NeatDesk for a spin! Full disclosure: I'm an employee. I wanted to let you know that all items scanned into our application are keyword searchable. The search field is located on the top right corner of the interface and you can search for any word for phrase located on receipts, business cards and documents. Additionally, a print option is available on the main toolbar.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Jenn

That is SO cool. I think that would save a ton of room and save a lot of headaches when going to look for that one doc!
