It took us about three days off and on to figure it out because we used it on an Intuit Approved Commercial Host for our QuickBooks For Contractor clients. > > Saved us a lot of time in reconciling bank and credit card statements. Fairly easy to train new staff. ----- ### "ScanWriter allows me to focus on more important tasks by taking care of data preparation & analysis" — 5.0/5 > **Raveesha** | *17 February 2022* | Law Enforcement | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of conversion of scanned documents, including handwritten checks from PDF to Excel plus the powerful data visualization features to easily understand the flow of funds and track the audit trail. It saves a lot of time I used to spend on data preparation and analysis. It is also very convenient for verifying the transactions from the bank statements and other documents while preparing data before exporting it to Excel and this feature ensures 100% accuracy of the data. > > **Cons**: The only thing that bothers me is the recent increase in the price of the software, making it a little on the higher side. Other than that the software is easy to use and provides customer support, which is great. Since the pros of the software outweigh the cons, I continue using it at an increased price as well and it has now become a necessity for me. > > Their customer support staff is wonderful. For me, the after-sale service is extremely important for any product or service and it speaks volumes about the company. ----- ### "Hard to us" — 1.0/5 > **Carla** | *15 September 2020* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We could not find anything positive about this software. > > **Cons**: This software was very hard to use for our accounting firm. It takes to long to read the document. ----- ### "Saves me a lot of time" — 5.0/5 > **Denise** | *7 April 2022* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Scanwriter for Quickbooks allows me to enter hundreds of invoices and payments into Quickbooks Desktop in far less time than manual entry would allow. Their support team is always available to help when I have an issue. Each type of document has a "Reader" that Scanwriter's team creates to read your document, so they have to have a set format to work with the software. If the document is a common one that other companies also need, the readers are free. If the document is a custom one, there is a charge for Scanwriter to create a reader. Some readers, ie for receiving payments, will do almost everything automatically with very little intervention from me. Others, require more manipulation and prepping of the data, so save me less time. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve to get going in Scanwriter, like most other software. Sometimes upon opening the program it is not able to connect to the internet or my Quickbooks, so I have to restart my computer to get all of the features working properly. I am also experiencing some data corruption issues in Quickbooks since starting to integrate with Scanwriter. I am not sure if this is contributing to the problems. Also, some documents are slower to read, but I am free to do other tasks during the reading , so I am still very productive. > > I can't imagine not using Scanwriter now. It just saves me so much time. I wish some of the tasks I have to do manually in Scanwriter, could be automated by the software, but overall it works well for me. ----- ### ""Accuracy, Speed and Ease of Use Makes ScanWriter a Winner"" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 January 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. Accuracy in capturing financial data. 2. It supports thousands of financial institutions. 3. Saves manual labor of capturing and cleansing the data 4. Automatically creates data visualizations for financial data giving time more quality time for real investigations > > **Cons**: Can't think of any downsides of ScanWriter at the moment. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/166698/scanwriter?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/166698/scanwriter) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
