Our inner foodie sees a cooking magazine and wants to rip out new recipes for later. This leads to a messy pile of loose papers with delicious pictures sitting on the kitchen counter. By the end of the week, the papers have been moved around; some are stained by food or wine, but one thing is definite: we don’t know what to do with them. What happened to the folders we were going to use to categorize the recipes? The pages kept sticking to each other… But what about that recipe binder we bought last year? Oh. We gave up on placing each sheet in a plastic protector and opened a bottle of wine instead. So what are we going to do about these magazine recipes in front of us? Maybe we should just throw them out now because organizing them is going to be such a pain in the… What’s that you say? A digital scanner?

The Neat scanner is an excellent tool for saving ripped-right-out-of-a-magazine recipes. In less than a minute the page you held in your hand is in the recycling bin and its contents are in the NeatCloud, and the kitchen is free of paper clutter. When the time comes to tackle that gourmet flatbread recipe, it’s waiting for you in NeatCloud. Summon the recipe with a search for the word “flatbread” and OCR (optical character recognition) technology will find it. You don’t need to remember what magazine the recipe came from, what folder you put it in, or even what title you gave the PDF three months ago. With the ability to search for individual ingredients or words in all your files, you no longer need to spend time carefully naming and categorizing each document immediately after scanning it. The Neat scanner saves time in filing and finding your recipes and food related articles.
Have you checked your garden today? The tomatoes you planted two months ago are ready and begging to be eaten. After such a long wait, there are high expectations for these plump red fruit (unless you argue vegetables), so which recipe is worthy? Don’t worry, since you scanned all your recipes to the Neat Cloud already, you can find the ones with tomatoes with a simple search: “tomato.” Then you stumble upon an old magazine cutout for a tomato tart that suggests using fresh summer tomatoes! You can thank the Neat scanner for the best dinner all month.
With more and more people eating gluten-free nowadays, it’s time to update the recipe collection. It turns out that gluten-free recipes can appeal to anyone, so you have a stack of 20 sheets once all the magazines are put away. Now the scanner doesn’t seem like such a time saver, especially with double-sided pages. The Neat scanner is up to the challenge, because it boasts such features as handling paper stacks and double-sided scans, no problem. The only mess it can’t clean up is the kitchen sink.
