If you don’t want to be limited to desk scanners and need an invoice and receipt scanner that is portable, our recommendations for portable document scanners with rechargeable battery or SD Card support would be: The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i portable receipt scanner, VuPoint ST-470 and Magic Wand portable scanner, the Brother Mobile Color Scanner ADS-1700W, the Brother DS-720d color page scanner, the Brother DS-620 and Epson Workforce DS-30 mobile receipt scanner, the Doxie GO SE with the Doxie app.

There is also the option to use the Smart Receipts software. If you don’t have a scanner you can try using your phone and receipt scanning apps that use the smartphone’s camera. There are plenty of receipt scanner apps on the Play Store, but you won’t be as productive with mobile scanners as with the desktop ones that we presented here. There is also the Wave app available for iOS, a great app for small business for when tax season comes. There are at least 10 receipts apps for this on Google Play and the App Store.

There is also the option to use flatbed scanners, but we find that that is the worst option in terms of productivity.
