Document scanning seems to be a hot topic at this year’s Macworld. Many companies are offering solutions to not only quickly scan in all sorts of documents, but to also allow users to more efficiently manage the data on those scanned documents using OCR (optical character recognition). For instance, the solutions from Futijsu, BulletScan, and Neat all offer some ways to get your data into other areas of your computer and the web, whether it be Evernote, Google Docs, or local PDFs. They also aim to do so very quickly, using documents per minute as the main stat to look for if you’re a power user.

Until the day when all transactions and receipts are electronic, you might want to consider a method other than physical files and folders for your receipts and important documents. That is exactly what NeatReceipts is for. It will scan your receipts, business cards and other important documents, making electronic copies. It will even extract data from these—such as names, numbers, addresses totals, etc. And best of all, you can recycle your receipts after they have been scanned in.
