How To Use Neat Scanner Without Subscription

Review: NeatConnect Cloud Scanner. And monthly NeatCloud subscription service. Tiny onscreen keyboard. Saving simplicity courtesy of its NeatReceipts and NeatDesk scanners — but they. The Neat Desk Organizer is useful because it keeps all of your records and other information in order. It has a removal document holder where you can place your documents and other things like business cards. This personal digital scanner is small and it does not occupy much space. Launch Neat software on your computer and click the downward-facing arrow icon located next to the Scan button on the main menu. Configure the settings you want to apply to your first scan. You can set document detection type and color settings and opt to use either two-sided or one-sided scanning.

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. And I'm not even counting having enough knowledge of a third-party company to know who to talk to about some sort of a glitch. I do appreciate your frustration, but if you paid good money for something that doesn't do what it says it should, then I'd say follow the money and complain to that company. Evernote makes no claims about scanners (other than its own) and isn't exhibiting any faults here. It's the NeatConnect which isn't working.

It even supports duplex scanning in that single pass. The NeatConnect specializes in document scanning — not photos — so if you need to digitize snapshots, look elsewhere. Neat's mobile apps let you view, share, and edit your scanned documents on the go, or even add new scans by snapping photos. However, the apps are only available to subscribers to Neat's Home & Office and Business plans ($15 and $25 a month, respectively). The $6 monthly Personal plan offers no app love. Be prepared to kick down for NeatCloud every month as long as you own the scanner ( Correction, Jan 13 2014: You can continue to scan to other cloud services even without a NeatCloud sub). If you can afford both, however, you've got what is perhaps the coolest, most practical scanner I've tested, and an unbeatable weapon in the war against paper.

I highly recommend their products for both individuals and business. I have been a satisfied customer for close to ten years.

With its shift to a cloud SaaS subscription-based software model, Neat is now able to add new features on a schedule to makes sense from a business perspective instead of once every year or two. That has become especially important as competition, all of it cloud-based, has grown.

I think the modified firmware is to handle the longer receipts b/c I can use the same scanner with Quicken. But in Quicken, the scan stops after ~11 inches, when doing a very lengthy receipt, such as a long grocery receipt. OTOH, the scan will get the full receipt, when scanning in NR. BurgersNFries said: I've been using Neatreceipts/Neatworks for over 3 years. I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I for one am unimpressed. 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. I can't access it anymore unless I buy a subscription.

That could mean things are going to take awhile. Does anyone know of another product that is wireless (doesn't need a PC) and has similar evernote functionality? Thank you for taking the time to post a workaround it works great!!!

• Pros Scans and manages receipts, business cards, and documents. Scans directly to cloud. Can scan to searchable PDF. • Cons Included software is highly limited, with an idiosyncratic interface that makes it harder to learn than it should be. • Bottom Line Although NeatConnect is a scanner, it is best understood as a so-called 'scanning appliance' primarily of interest if you want to send your scans to the cloud. NeatConnect—from The Neat Company—is a different kind of scanner. First and foremost, it's a scan appliance, meaning a tool you can use to scan to the cloud (by way of a Wi-Fi connection to your network) without needing a computer.

The solves those problems with mind-blowing efficiency. It connects to the cloud via Wi-Fi, so the only cable you need is the one that plugs into an AC outlet.

Pros: I like the fact that it has significantly lessened my load of keeping excess paperwork. It has given me a great sense of contentment and security.

Thanks for the post Brooks (thanks for the site too). I would like to do the opposite. I'm actually not that found of the Neatworks software because I find it too unstable and I lose scans from their proprietary approach to put all scans in one huge fat file (in my case 2.5GB).

'It appears you may have an indexing conflict between the NeatWorks software and another third party application running elsewhere on your system. NeatWorks will periodically re-index itself automatically to catalogue data.

I have a lot of stuff on my Neat stuff. I had five years of my business files and taxes on there. Then one time I lost my hard drive on my computer and I had to get a new hard drive put it. A new hard drive was put in, but I never saved the files to the Neat Cloud like I do now. I thought what was saved on there when I saved it, was saved and I didn't do an offline back-up because I had no idea. That was my one little downfall. After going to a computer place and spending a couple of hundred dollars, I got all of my information back, but I could not open up that program.

Perhaps we can get the Evernote company rep, who responded prior, to see if they can leverage their connection with the Neat company to raise the issue so that they take it more seriously. This doesn't seem to be an Evernote problem but I imagine Neat is a key partner so it would be in their interest to not lose those users. 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? I've been wrong before, and it's quite possible that Evernote will chime in and tell you that I'm wrong again; but if you want to put energy into campaigning for something I really suggest you do it on Neat's websites rather than here.

Like the idea of a centralized DB instead of a cloud tho.=) There's several types, and they do a really nice job of finding what matches your organization and needs. I can't give you a range even, ours is discounted as part of our company's broker/dealer partnership. There's over a hundred firms, and thousands of offices, so it was quite the contract:) It's not our favorite thing to do, but contacting a sales person there should get them a better idea what you need, and work out a reasonable price. Someone else might be able to offer a range, but mine wouldn't help. @ Jeremy_B: Cool deal.

Paperport 11 serial number crack software. Thanks for using fixya. • If u have purchased the it from any site and u have proof of it then do mail to them that i didn't get serial number till, they will send u.

It seems like you (Evernote the company) would have carry a lot more weight in reaching out to Neat support to have them take this problem more seriously, instead of having us as individuals brushed off by them. And this email just came in: Thanks for the reply and thanks for your patience. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this issue has caused you. We are currently experiencing issues which affect adding Dropbox, OneDrive and Evernote as destinations on the NeatConnect Scanner. An update will be provided once a solution is identified. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue. However, at this time, there is no ETA.

BUT I do know instructions are needed. Can it be scanned to excel worksheet and protected?

Revoke access to everything and re-authorise the ones you need. (Remember the limit is three current devices excluding the web page. If you need to connect another, just revoke access to a current device and add the new one temporarily.). That looks like the same message I got from Neat.Word for word. I reported my problem on Jan 7th.

Once a year of service passes, your subscription will automatically renew. Please take a look at our terms and conditions here: When taking a look at your case history with Neat, We did not receive any communication about cancelling your account until 1/3/2019.No communication was received for the year of 2018. Once again, we do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Original review: Jan. 2, 2019 I started using Neat on January 1 of 2012 and I have used it ever since. I scan every receipt from personal to non-personal.

I am extremely satisfied. She was extremely knowledgeable. Neat is a very helpful service. I use it day to day for scanning documents, receipts and business contacts and use it for my taxes as well.

The FirmWare version is 02.02.02.02 Please follow the steps below to update your firmware: -Click the Settings button at the bottom left of the touchscreen. -Scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen and you should see the Software Update option.

All warranties, records, receipts, important documents or even articles, I have easy access to them anytime, anywhere. In business, it is imperative to always keep records, whether it would be for the government, financial statements, contracts, income receipts and employees. This program basically gives me peace of mind and lessens any stress or worry. If organization is essential to you then the Neat program is the answer. Cons: Basically, if you scan a document and later on you want to add on another page to that document and scan it separately you are not able to combine it with the first scanned document. You have to delete the original document and then scan both together as a multipage document. Overall: It gives me peace of mind and a sense of security.

The machine would grab it and scan it. It goes in the sorting system and I can go find it.

You have to assume Neat is going under. Thanks for adding the additional step. I took it for granted that people couldn't cut anbd paste their outbox info from their ISP.

I have a brand new business. I have tax paper and I can’t scan anything. I have so much paper all over my house. I'm so pissed off.

(or your mom). Here's a step-by-step approach on how to set everything up. 'Solution' 1. Evernote provides the user with an email address so we can simply send an email with an attachment, and it will go directly into the folder that we designate as Default.

He claims Neat is getting out of the hardware business and will no longer be making & selling scanners. I suspect this means we may not see much more in the way of updates. On the other hand, while I haven't had a chance to try it yet. It seems the more recent versions of the Fujitsu ix500 will work without being connected directly to a computer. They say it will send directly to several cloud services including Evernote.

(Please remember to honor your company's IT policies before installing new software!) • • • •.

But now this year I can no longer even get to the copies of my receipts that I scanned over the years unless I paid the yearly fee just to speak to someone on the phone. They take no calls otherwise. Still can't get it to work but I do have access to my scanned documents. Unless someone knows a better way I'm going to have to go back all those years and one by one download each document onto my hard drive. Comments: The company i work for invested in Neat scanners and we have used them successfully in the past to scan receipts and make expense reports. Now, they have discontinued support for their desktop software and now are requiring a subscription to their service to continue to use the hardware. I am unable to contact customer service because I am not paying a subscription fee.
