I have used both CardScan and Neat Receipts: I prefer Neat Receipts and I noticed the price just came down at our local Costco. I export to Excel or import cards to Outlook and I see that you can also export to Quicken or QuickBooks although I have never done this.
I'm glad to read that Neat Receipts is a program that is liked! I purchased it a short time ago, but haven't yet used it. Maybe I should start testing it out.
Can anyone tell me where to find the Neat Receipts/Neat Receipts Business Card Scanner? I have never heard of them, but they sound like good equipment to have on hand.

Once you have downloaded the cards on Outlook, you can link you QB with your contact list. I have done it at my old job. Off hand - check the toolbar at top of QB to see where it is or you can go to the Help menu. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the Costco tip! This is excellent. I haven't gotten a scanner yet b/c that $200 price tag was too high. Now, if I can save $50 at Costco - hooray!
Neat Receipt is available at Sam's Club right now for $148. This is a wonderful price since most retailers have it at $199! Staples for some reason wouldn't price match Sam's price, so I drove to Sam's an picked up one. Can't wait to start using it! I'm told it saves pages in digital format for which takes up less space. I can't wait to get started on getting rid of my PAPER storage. I would like to have picked up the Neat Desk, but for the cost difference, I'll start small.

The only experience I have with a card scanner was not good. By the time I cleaned up the scan, I could have typed it in myself and still gotten 100 done per hour. However, the "Neat Receipt/Biz Card Scanner" sounds better. For those concerned about the price tag, it may be a bit more expensive because it's a better machine than the first scanner I tried. The Neat Receipt sounds good. I'd be willing to try again with that.

I have the neat receipt and love it, it stores not only business cards but receipts.
Its great for tracking total costs of projects that you need to purchase supplies for and in Canada anyways the digital receipts are legal for income tax purposes so you don't have to worry about the receipt being misplaced or fading.
I also use it for full size document scans of important information like insurance forms ect. I love mine. Good luck with your choice.
