I find this incredibly frustrating. I just bought a new machine and your scanner at Costco, only to return to thte home office and discover that you don't support the machine. It's being returned tomorrow (the scanner that is)...

Nice screenshots.

The latest beta release does not require these steps for installation on vista. (The beta is not an upgrade, it's a full release.)

As for not calibrating, it won't kill you, but you might run into times where it doesn't correctly identify edges of a receipt and chop off the black space. (Among other things.)

I just got my NR to work with Vista 32 bit and I thought of sharing the info here.

Below are 6 easy steps to get NR to work on vista.

Enter NR Cd in the Cd rom, close the autorun when it comes up than follow the below info

Go to my computer and right click on the NR CD

I did not Calibrate the scanner, not sure how that works

If you want to get the latest update you will need to do the same thing with the update file you download form NR site.

Good luck.

Ok Ok Ok. I hope you're happy! lol (just kidding)

After spending a year traveling overseas and becoming completely dependent on NR for my life to be able to continue, I decided for reformat my already-reformatted Vista OS and replace the 64 bit version with the regular 32 bit version. So.. I've done my part.. now when I can I get my update?..... c'mon you guys. This program is great, but we need an update here. I'm as compliant as compliant can be.. your turn.

PS: Anyone been able to get that scanner to work on Vista as a stand-alone unit yet? I've tried even installing the Plustek drivers for it, but haven't had any luck.

Thanks again for a great program... really.. now just get us the update... I need my NR fix.. it's like heroin. You should start a support program for NR addicts... wait.. that would be "NRA?" Hmm...

Hi Tommy,

Unfortunately, we don't have immediate plans to support 64 bit Vista at this time.

Sincerely,

Jenn

Is there a current release date scheduled for support of 64 bit Vista? I'm a technet user running Vista x64 but I really enjoy using neat receipts when I travel out of the country. It's been a life saver for the last year for me, but I really need 64 bit support. Any ETA on that?

As a interim solution, has anyone successfully installed it on a 64 bit OS using the program compatibility features? They're really upgraded in Vista, but I'm hesitatnt to try it. Getting neat receipts ON a computer is easy, but getting it back off when it screws up can be a real nightmare.

Anyone done this successfully?

Tommy

Mac Support Probably Quite Easy

JoeGuru — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 19:51:25 GMT

I assume you wrote NeatReceipts in .NET. If so, you should have a look at mono-project.com. It may solve all your Mac porting issues--and might make a port quicker to produce than you anticipated. One approach you might take on the hardware side is to release an interim build that would support some scanner such as a TravelPro 600 (that already has a Mac TWAIN driver). That way, those of us who are trying to document platform diversity in the wake of Vista would be able to help you test your product.

Just for your information, I am an academic chief technologist at a major University. We. are seeing trends upwards of 50% attrition away from Microsoft this year. Our student, before, have been encouraged to get a Windows platform. This year, we've officially blessed full support on the Mac platform, and over half the new purchases are Macs. We're seeing the same thing in industry as well.

Hi,

We now expect a Vista-compatible release around mid-March.

Would love to see the compatibility of your system and Microsoft Office Accounting Professional. Both with export and import.

Jenn:

NeatReceipts Version 2.7 will be released in March 2007. Version 2.7 will include:
A tax update
New tax categories
Ability to export to Turbo Tax
Links to 2006 IRS forms
New tax tips

Jenn,

Just a thought about the proposed March release to include significant tax help. In my part of the US we are encouraged to pay our taxes around the middle of April. I think it would be a Big Selling Point if you could make those tax help features you are promising available as much in advance of then as possible.

I just bought a NeatReceipts today (2/3/07) excited to use it with my new Visa laptop. No-workie, and now I see a "no ETA" on the Vista support, apparently after a missed delivery date as well.

Jenn, I would rather return my scanner tomorrow than bet on a "no ETA" tech. support response. Would you venture another commitment to a ETA availability time?

Thanks,
Tony.

I am curious what you mean by a program to balance checkbook. I can see that you get bank side info from quicken web connect (ofx files) and that you get consumer side info from receipts scanned into NeatReceipts; however, I don't see where you go from there. Do you simply export NR data to quicken and look to see which transactions aren't automatically matched? I worry that this would lead to duplicate transactions too often but I haven't tried it.

Thanks.

I just want you to know that I share your frustration... I've been Beta testing Vista since April and notified Neat Receipts IT about the lack of compatibility via email and via telephone in June 2006. I was told then that the software would be compatible when VISTA was released.

I'm p.o'd but not willing to raise to big of an issue ONLY b/c unlike most businesses with a less than appropriate response to valid consumer demand, Neat Receipt's product is INCREDIBLE. I 've always hated (and as a result, never balanced) my checkbook. Using Neat Receipts I've designed a program to compare monthly bank files with a monthly register (created by scanning my receipts) ... Quicken and MS Money wont do this for me. So I'm stuck, I guess.

Just wanted you to know you weren't the only one suffering and that your original questions were not unreasonable.

Now I do not know if I will set up and use NeatReceipts! It is in the BOX waiting for me to order a new computer with VISTA. It bothers me that this was not further along in the pipeline - like Tuesday was the first mention of VISTA?

and there is no MAC support...I guess Apple just came out?...well, I guess it did. If I decide to use this I will have to keep a laptop with XP to use it on and then "can I transfer it over to Vista"? or will that be "ünder development"?

Sorry, I just needed to vent as I was looking forward to using this ASAP and had great faith in it!

Unfortunately, NeatReceipts will not be able to support Vista right away. It is a high priority for us and currently under development-and we appreciate your patience while we work to get it out as quickly as possible.
