I have been using this program for a good while and aside from the fact that I can't use it directly with my ScanSnap or Epson V700 scanners, I can use it quite effectively with the help of ScanHelper and ScanSnap Manager. With ScabHelper.app I can send the ScanSnap file to anyone of a number of programs for modification. In my case, I send the scans to ReceiptWallet 2.0.8, whose documents have been encrypted with Knox 1.6.2, and after entering the Knox Vault password, it is off to the races.

I've used the application for some time now and I have used a TWAIN scanner with no problems with the exception of the scanning was a little slow. I now have ScanSnap and it's just great. The only problem that I'm having with ReceiptWallet is when I do a Report and include the Tax information, the sum total is way off the mark. It does not give me a true total.
Not only do you have to manually correct / populate the info for almost every receipt but if you were to miss an incorrect amount it would be stored like that making it useless. This could even screw you up at tax time if you went with the wrong number. We’re not talking a matter of cents here either. Many receipts I scanned were OCR at $1 when the amount was something like $84.97. In other cases it was picking up numbers that were not even on the receipt. It picked up an amount of $77.77... I don’t even think there were any 7’s on the receipt anywhere!!!
If you want to use this for OCR stay far far away. Otherwise it might be ok, but if I have to enter all the info manually I will just do it once in my Billings3 software (to track expenses) and be done with it. No sense in trying to use this to automatically input receipts if you have to type them all in anyways. Might as well just scan them into a folder for a backup copy and use any other piece of software to manually enter the amounts. Sure you would have the searchable info (amounts, merchant, dates, etc) attached to the images of the receipts, but is it really worth doubling up on your efforts and having that stuff spread across two pieces of software just to try and save some time with OCR that doesn’t work? I don’t think so. Billings3 and other programs can link up to external files (aka the receipt you scanned) so why add another app just to do the same thing and double your work load?
