Neat Receipts Scanner $80 today.

I've blogged about my Neat Receipt Scanner before.  It is great with Evernote.  I thought it was a great deal when I got mine for $149.  Woot today has it for $79.99 while they last.

Recommended!

Update 6:30 PM EST : This is not yet sold out.  It's a great value!

Update 11:30 AM Saturday, 10/3 : Woot's only last for a day at most, so this opportunity is gone for now.

    My wife had bought it for me as a gift. It was $84.99 after shipping. Then it was another $60 to swap out for the latest Mac one. I still haven't started using it yet though

    Mark,

    FYI, you have a typo. "Whether you use a sheet fed scanner or a flat bed scanner, having a scanner with Evernote lets you put all your phicial documents into Evernote and make them searchable" Change phicial to physical

    Hey David, I am bit confused. Can you please tell me basic difference between sheet fed scanner or a flat bed scanner. I had always thought that both are same one.

    With a flat bed, you lay each sheet of paper down individually on a piece of glass.

    Sheet fed, it pulls it through the scanner.

    A sheet fed scanner then has to e bigger than an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper, while my little Neat Receipts scanner is about 10 inches across by 2 inches deep. It takes up much less space on my desk.

Notes Folder : My new note taking system

I'm in the process of moving to a new way to keep my notes. It would be best to make a separate post on my long time notetaking app, Evernote, and how it now disappoints me.  Bottom line, I no longer trust the company behind Evernote since it was acquired. My first inclination was to finally look at alternatives. like Notion, Joplin, Obsidian, etc. I was not enamored with any of them, so I gritted my teeth and stayed with Evernote. The situation made me think about how I use Evernote. To keep up additional posts on this topic, search on the tag Notes Folder Updates : January 24, 2024 and in updates noted here. Most of the things I store are quick notes, lists, online receipts for online bills, that sort of thing; kind of an online file cabinet if you will. If I were a doctoral student though I could see storing PDFs of papers and research materials.  If were working on a large project, then plans, communications etc. would all be there. Back when I began using Evernote way b...

Recording your own notes with Google Voice

Note :   April 2016:  Frankly I don't know if this works anymore.  It is 7 years old. I stopped using this when Google Now became useful on my phone, and I could dictate reminders using it. I found a way a while ago to use Google Voice to record a personal note, transcribe it, and email it to me. A recent Lifehacker post "Five Things We'd Like to See in Google Voice" lists that need as their #5 request, so I realized what I'd figured out is not common knowledge. In GV's Contacts, create a Group "Special Transcription" To avoid listening to my standard voice mail when I call, I recorded a short voice mail greeting for this group simply saying "Record note now" I added a contact with my own cell phone number as the only number, and made it the sole member of this group. In GV's phone settings, I edited the settings for my cell phone. In the section "Direct access to voicemail when calling your Google number from th...

Your First Day with Evernote

I've written many times before about Evernote .  I love this program.  It is my brain's memory on steroids.  I have over 6000 notes in it now.  And I keep finding ever more uses for it. While originally written in 2009, this post has been frequently updated. New January 2012:  If you like what I write about Evernote, check out my 136 page e-book,  " Get Productive Fast with Evernote ".  Just $10. Sunday October 11, 2009 I wrote about Evernote in my print column, Family Tech. If you are wondering what is Evernote, and why would I want to use it, start with the column . I promised in that column this post to help new users get efficient fast with Evernote. I thought I'd write a quick plan for someone's first day with Evernote. This is really meant for after you've installed the client to your computer, so this picks up after you've gone to  Evernote's Get Started Page and created an account and downloaded and installed a clien...
