Anyone using a receipt scanner to keep organized? Any recommendations? Looking for something small and compact, I like to be mobile/have the ability to be mobile.
Receipt Scanner?

Really bad reviews, looked into them a number of times. Bad interface with Mac, etc. Also not compact/mobile really. Thanks bros.
Edit: just saw they have a mobile one now, nice. Still a lot of shitty reviews though on Amazon IMO. e.g.:
Not a bad idea - does that app have a way of easily getting them onto a computer though aside from emailing or something?
Is this the scanner Tim Ferris recommended in 4 Hour Work Week? Think it might be. I'll check it out.
Not sure if you're familiar with Xero, but it's an online accounting service. So when you can enter an expense into their iPhone app and it'll ask you to take a picture of the receipt, then it stores that on their server and adds the expense to your account. I don't actually use it yet, but I'm planning to soon.
Ahh, nah, had no idea what it was. I use Outright for accounting and they have an iPhone app that does the exact same thing, but I'm kind of looking for a more simple/direct way of just having raw scans/images, thanks for elaborating though.
Honestly, I usually scotch tape them to a piece of printer paper, file them, and be done with it.
Considered something like this but I reallllly fucking hate paper, the less there is the happier I am.
I have seen the ScanSnap S1300 recommended a few times before. I read that you can have it scan straight into Evernote.
The ScanSnap S1100 is smaller/more portable.
I use the Expensify app for scanning and expense organization. For raw scanning on the fly - Camscanner is the shit.
I hear you, and I'm the same way. I just have all my shit constantly printed or taped to paper and filed immediately. that way when the end of the year comes, all my numbers are correct from my software, receipts are categorized and in chronological order. If i ever get audited, it'll look really good. "This guy was on the ball." I should never get audited though, because I"m on the ball.
That has to be it then, nice. Thanks for the reminder.
Was just checking out Expensify and Camscanner, testing these out now.
Why not have someone else do the peasant work?

Haven't personally used them, but they've been around for awhile.
