![]() You really can’t go wrong with either one of these 3 scanners. ![]() It comes with the necessary cables to either run via USB or AC power. However, I should note that powering it over USB requires TWO USB ports: one for data and one for power. The S300M can be USB powered from your computer or powered with the supplied AC adapter. ![]() The S300M: Although the S300M doesn’t come with Acrobat or the AbbyFine Reader software like it’s big brother the S510M, it does come with Cardiris for scanning business cards and automatically adding them to your contact manager (such as Address Book on the Mac). So you won’t be sliding this one into your laptop bag as easily as the NeatReceipts scanner. The only two downsides to the scanner is that you don’t get OCR (searchable PDF capability built-in), but again if you already own Acrobat, you can do the OCR in Acrobat instead. It can be USB powered for portability and you don’t end up paying for Acrobat if you already have it. You get a smaller form factor than the S510M. If you want a happy medium, then I would say go with the S300M. Like I said above, this thing devours stacks of paper without blinking an eye. If you plan to scan a lot of stuff, often, then the S510M would be the way to go. Clearly the NeatReceipts scanner is the smallest and costs less, but it’s also by far the slowest and only handles single-sided documents one page at a time. So it really depends on what you need to scan most and how cost conscious you are. But what if you only could buy one?Īs you can see, the S300M is at least twice the size of the NeatReceipts Which one is right for you?Ĭhances are you only need one of these. When It comes to scanning on the go and especially scanning receipts, the NeatReceipts scanner is my choice. Also since I already own Acrobat 9 Professional, I don’t need the added expense of having that bundled in (like it is on the S510M). I also like its “baby brother” the S300M because it takes up less space and costs less. I’m still blown away by how FAST this scanner works. When it comes to eliminating paper on my desk, nothing beats the ScanSnap S510M. Of course each one has its pluses and minuses. I took the same 3 documents and scanned them on each scanner. I decided to put all 3 scanners to the test and record it so that you can see for yourself.
