But the NeatDesk comes with only a license code for a copy of Neat Library, which is not included in the box. It also includes various utilities (that some will find more useful than others). The ScanSnap comes with licensed copy of Acrobat At, a $300-$460 product. He also pans the software and optical character recognition (OCR) included with the scanner.Ĭonsider this. Joel’s point about the odd NeatDesk document slots limiting the number of documents, however, is well-taken, even if that assembly can be removed. In a world of ubiquitous multi-function-printers, we think scanners still play an important role.
That being the case, I found this observation about the NeatDesk odd: “its first problem is that it’s simply a scanner, and a sheet-fed one at that. We’ll try Neat and let you know what we think in a separate review post.
Update: Neat is sending us a a NeatDesk scanner to try.
