Has anyone got the Neat Scanner to work with macOS Ventura?

2/2/2024 -

I found a Neat NC-1000 scanner at the goodwill. The drivers no longer are supported for Ventura.

Google Drive has been disabled, email to Gmail is disabled.

However, you can still send to FTP.

I setup filezilla as a local FTP server, and the scanner will connect to the mac and put the receipts into a mapped folder.

Works great!

I can confirm that Neat Scanners seem to be totally nonfunctional with Mac OS and Apple products. Also Neat offers zero support for physical scanners.

Is there an application/software like the NEAT that I can import all of my files/folders to for my iMac?

Yes, they say Ventura stopped supporting some legacy USB methods they're using.

Neat Scanners and Mac OS Ventura

With the release of Mac OS 13 Ventura, Neat users experienced issues with installing Neat scanner drivers and scanning with existing drivers after upgrading to Ventura. Unfortunately, changes in the…

There are quite a few complaints from users on Windows as well as Macs about the Neat scanners. Seems most of their products were either portable scanners or desktop scan->file devices. They seem to have abandoned the product line.

With Cloud technology and smartphones, there are now many ways to scan receipts and documents using an App that can generate a PDF and dump the output to a cloud storage drive. OneDrive does this very well and Microsoft Lens App as well along with many others. My company uses the Concur system for travel and expenses and their mobile App can scan receipts from your smart phone, perform optical character recognition (OCR) and when the bank charges arrive, automatically match the receipts to the credit card charge and generate a automatic expense report line item. All of this effectively makes portable scanners as obsolete as fax machines.

If you need a upright sheet feeder desktop scanner to digitize a lot of documents, Fujitsu, Canon, and Epson have some nice products that work with Mac. Shop around, look for Mac specific ratings and reviews. VueScan is an excellent software package that can revive many popular old scanners whose manufacturers have dropped support. But it doesn't support everything. It doesn't work with the Neat scanners as an example.

Hi there. I’m wondering if you followed any YouTube tutorial? What software did you use?

I tried walking through my parents to re-setup their Neat scanner on a newer Mac but they couldn’t get it to work.

Have you tried the https://support.neat.com website? They have drivers and software and customer support.
