It’s never jammed to the point of paper destruction and the NeatDesk has become my de facto spot for holding all of the papers I hold dear. Writing contracts? NeatDesk. Business cards? NeatDesk. Tax junk? NeatDesk.

NeatDesk does a great job with receipts and business cards, but to take full advantage of the scanner itself, you'll have to buy additional software.

Both scanners and the NeatWorks software were easy to configure and use. Despite the few issues with fancy business cards, the OCR was surprisingly effective at reading information from a wide range of documents and even a number of faded receipts.

With fast scans to searchable PDFs, the scanner lived up to its promise of helping to organize receipts, documents, business cards, and much else that was cluttering up my filing cabinet. But it's pricier than the Fujitsu ScanSnap which I thought did a better job on business cards.
