I typically dislike when people review products before giving them some time to prove their longevity and lack of hidden quirks. However, I just got this the other day and have been very impressed. So, sorry but impulsivity wins the day with something this awesome!! As I bought is primarily for scanning receipts, that is what this review will cover. It handles my fairly crumpled and creased receipts with utter finesse, and speed. Only twice have the receipts have gotten outside the guides resulting in a skewed scan, but this seems an understandable consequence of putting many crumpled and creased receipts in at once as the lack of flatness creates a tendency for them to be pushed over the guides. The simple solution I found was to simply use a finger as a brace to keep them from flopping forward during the scan. The most receipts of varying crumpledness that I've tried to scan at once so far is 46, which the scansnap handled with ease. I love the smart receipt program that comes with the software. For one, my hundreds of crumpled receipts are now digitized and therefore are no longer overflowing the filing cabinet. But even cooler, the software reads the date, store, expense and method of payment off the receipt with impressive accuracy. Some of my receipts have become worn from time spent in my wallet that they are nearly illegible, but I've found that even for the decently readable receipts it's a good idea to check that the software was able to correctly read the scan (e.g., some of the worn 8's were read as 3's, sometimes dates were off, once or twice the total was incorrect). The smart receipt software also learns. At first it will not correctly read a majority of store logos, but after correcting the reader 1-3 times it generally learned to read those logos correctly in the future. I think that is the only real negative I've found so far- that you have to double-check that it correctly interpreted the receipts' store logos. However, the inconvenience of double-checking is eased by the fact that the scanned image of each receipt is shown right next to each line of receipt data. Overall, the inconvenience of double-checking the store, total and date is outweighed by all the conveniences this scanner does provide. Moreover, the machine is sleek and sexy, has a fairly small footprint, and feels well put together. April 2019 UPDATE: still working great! The learning/smart of the OCR can be frustrating at times as it doesn’t always “learn.” Also, I believe the newest version of the software no longer supports the special receipt-reader program. So I gave decided to not update in the last year in order to keep this software.
