Thanks--I've looked for something like this in the past but have never found this one--will come in handy when I need it.

I use it for receipts that I feel I might need but usually lose, all auto repair receipts (for tracking my vehicle history), any tax deductible receipts such as uniform items, etc.

I recently had a rotation expense (cab due to screwup with hotel transportation). I got the cab receipt, "scanned" it with TurboScan and then threw it away. I emailed the receipt to myself as a pdf, then forwarded that along with my expense report to the email address that the pilot support center uses. Worked great!
Maybe this is some how better than a free app that appears to do the same thing: Scannable (which works well with another app called Evernote). Scannable does a fine job of just that--scanning.

Hey there's always a better app out there. I already purchased TurboScan before I had heard of the others. I'm still quite happy

Yeah, if I were an app guy I would hope I could stay creative. By the time the app is online another one with more options and a cheaper price is almost ready to be uploaded. Which makes me want to ask--anyone else enjoying the second season of Silicon Valley? I get some good laughs out of it every episode.

Or y'all could do the traditional cheap pilot route and just use the free fax machines in the crew lounges to fax that receipt. Yep, they even have the # already stored in memory too.

If you do answer the FOM requires 24 hours free from duty after SCUBA diving,

Why not just fax it in from the crew room? Every crew room has a scanner/copier/fax machine/printer with the fax numbers already preprogrammed. Faxing in receipts not a big deal. After you fax it in, check the remarks the next day. They will write a remark "receipt received" once they have it.

Are there reserve Cliff Notes or a guide, other than the language in the PWA?
