Yes. I like to put a small check with a small receipt for one simple document. they work perfect.

It will OCR the receipt and as long as you have software that can look into the contents of the file, such as Hazel for Mac, http://www.noddlesoft.com, yes. But the software that comes with the ScanSnap itself will not. Hope that helps.

Yes, this scanner makes it easy to scan such things from books. However, remember the highest resolution you get is 600DPI. If that's adequate then you'd love the portability of this device.

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

The software is very user friendly. It scan business cards, greeting cards, credit cards, licenses, etc very nicely (both sides in one pass). I am not sure how it will do on receipts since they are faily narrow. It will most likely work fine, but you will probably have to guide it with your hands during the scan.

the scanner just replaces the data entry portion of using a keyboard to input a part number. this is an excellent scanner and works well with scanning various barcodes and upc codes. i even use it to scan UPS packages to put the tracking number on an invoice instead of copy and paste. the scanner would work good for inventorying what you have in stock. you could use excel or setup an access database, scan the barcode or UPC code of the item to look up the item data instead of typing the 12 digit upc code

I scan just about everything, including receipts, but I am not sure what you mean by 'record' receipts. If you mean to categorize them when scanned, you can do that by the file you save a receipt(s) in. I must say this is the best scanner I have ever had used.

I have not used it on usps items. We are a member based facility and use it for scanning in members.

One more thought though. My statement about the HP scanner is misleading. True for full page receipts, but unlike most flatbed scanners this one only scans the receipt, not a full page of nothing. A small receipt, like from a gas station pump, scans in a few seconds.

I've scanned a few photos and it did ok but I wouldn't buy it just for photos, I would buy a scanner that is made for photos. I purchased and use this for documents. I think you will get better quality with an actual photo scanner.

I don't know. We are using the scanner as a POS for retail sales and for inventory. We will try it on a QR bar code and let you know soon

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

yes, it is just a scanner truthfully the only reason we purchased was to help organize receipts for business. if you just need to put your recipes on computer i would just get a cheap scanner it will work the same or use a printer/scanner

I'd say yes. Keep in mind the quality of the copy won't be as good as with a regular scanner, but it's very decent. I carry my scanner in my murse (male purse) and scan all mail and important documents. I use it sometimes to scan book pages as well and the copies are pretty good.

I have an HP Photosmart 3210xi All-in-one and it handles scanning all of the documents I use with Home Inventory Pro. I also use Nuance PDF COnverter Professional as a software interface to scan in my inventory documents. I didn't see a need to get a separate scanner just to handle receipts. Hope this helps.

I have my scansnsp set to deliver documents directly into Evernote. I use Evernote to categorize receipts etc.
