“Mariner’s Paperless works seamlessly with the Fujitsu ScanSnap product line. It’s the kind of receipt and paper management solution that’s tough to beat.”

Remember when everyone talked about how we would soon be a paperless society? Now it seems like we use paper more than ever. Let’s face it – we need and we use paper. But Paperless 2 is one of those incredibly useful applications that will help you manage all your paper and digital documents and at the same time positively affect the environment.

Don't dread tax time. No more bringing a shoebox full of receipts to your accountant. According to ruling Rev. Proc. 97-22 from the IRS, a digital document is acceptable. With Paperless 2 you can create a Smart Collection and keep all your documents neat and tidy and in one place. Additionally, once you store your receipts in Paperless 2, you can select the receipts to email, print, or export to PDF, or even show as a chart.

Paperless 2 has the ability to keep up and maintain the task of not only reducing your need for paper but managing the paper you use. Simply scan your receipts, bills, statements, warranty cards, business cards – any paper document and the OCR function of Paperless 2 recognizes the data and adds it to the Details Window. The built-in search functionality even lets you find and organize receipts and documents into Smart Collections. Already have your documents as PDFs or other file formats? No problem. Simply drag and drop them into Paperless 2. By taking your paper receipts, product manuals and other documents and creating an electronic record you’ve already reduced your need for paper.

Need even more convincing? Here's a small sampling of why to use Paperless:

-Prepare expense reports
Once you store your receipts in Paperless, you can select the receipts to email, print, or export to PDF.

-Painlessly handle taxes
In most cases, the IRS (or other tax authority) may accept electronic copies of your receipts. Paperless makes gathering information for taxes a snap!

-Manage flexible spending
Put items into a category called Medical or Flexible Spending, then create a smart collection for the time period.

-Store owners manuals
Simply add your owners manuals to a Paperless library and they're accessible with a few quick keystrokes.

-Acess legal documents
Many lawyers are moving from the massive amounts of paper they generate to electronic storage. Paperless is the perfect solution.

-Be ready in case of disaster
Paperwork in Paperless before a disaster will make recovery easier.

In a nutshell, Paperless helps you help the world be a greener place to live.

Conceptually flawed - poor OCR makes this a waste of time.

IMHO, the most important feature in a program like this is its ability to perform accurate OCR on a document. Why? Because that makes the documents much more searchable. Then there is no need to spend loads of time categorizing and labeling everything manually. You can just type "Apple" and see any document or reciept with the word "Apple" in it.

Unfortunately, Paperless treats OCR like an afterthought (most ocr text is random gibberish) and instead puts the focus on manual organization (creating categories, dating everything yourself, etc.). This means you spend a lot of time trying to figure out where to put things and how to fill the fields. In my opinion, this approach isn't much better than just scanning things into folders and using spotlight. It certainly makes this program not worth $50 and I regret purchasing it.

Comapny has gone bankrupt - Avoid!

This used to be ok software but the company has apparently gone out of business leaving all their existing customers out to dry. Good luck trying to find something that will import a Paperless Database.

Gread document management software

Very confused by the negative reviews.

I use the software to scan bills, statements, receipts, and documents (was looking to slowly convert to a paperless home instead of filing the mass amount of bills, statements, etc. that come in the mail daily). The software works flawlessly for me. I have migrated to several different comptuers (iMac to Mac Air) all with out issue. I have tried Neat Receipts and Paperless. Paperless is 10 times better and more customizable.

The one area it is lacking is syncing to iCloud. It does not do this so I use dropbox. I know Paperless recommends against this, but it has worked great for me. In a nutshell I store the paperlesss library in a dropbox folder that replicates up to the cloud. The other lacking feature is an iPad app. Would be great to look up a document while on the go.

Pros
- Easy UI
- More flexible & poweful than Neat receipts
- Great organization features
- Ability to create custom fields and data types

Cons
- No Cloud syncing support
- No iPad app (would require cloud support)
- Changing the way data is viewed based on data type (for example, it would be great is business cards were displayed looking as if they were business cards).

Summary
Great scan and electronic doc management software for someone looking to do away with papers, statements, and documents around the home. I use with the Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner (S1500M)
