The Neat Company make a couple of dedicated digital scanners for turning tree-ware receipts into digital receipts. The NeatDesk unit looks like it’s got the goods with a very cool input tray that can handle 10 documents, 10 receipts and 10 business cards at once, or a 50 page document. And it scans both sides of the page.

You can create searchable pdf files, import the scanned images into the included NeatWorks software or export the data to Excel, Quicken or Outlook. Needs Windows XP or later and seems to be geared towards US-sized documents. US$399.95 from the Neat Company.

NeatDesk is a high-speed, duplex desktop scanner and digital filing system. Scan receipts, business cards and documents in one batch while the software identifies, extracts and organizes key information. Includes NeatWorks 4.0 software.
