NeatConnect comes with three months of the premium cloud service. Then you hit Send and the NeatConnect sends the scan into its cloud service. The built-in LED display shows the process, and it faciliates some basic editing, like flipping the image or deleting an unwanted page. You just insert a document, configure for the type of document (color/greyscale, single or double-sided, and individual files or a combined file), and then hit scan. Unlike many scanners, NeatConnect can be used as a completely standalone device. It includes slots for receipts, business cards, and regular documents. This has been my go-to scanner for most of my material. Neat sent a NeatConnect ($499.95), the company’s cloud-connected scanner. None of these is a buy, one get everything device. I have four different scanning options, and they all have their uses. My first move was to make sure I had input devices that could convert and copy my paper.
