Customer Reviews:

• It's 98% of perfect
  This gizmo works great. It gets a little confused on the OCR especially with hand written stuff. We scanned about 300 cards and had less than 20 that were any kind of problem. It's a real bargain if you deal with business cards, survey cards, inventory, etc....more info
• finally a solution that works!
  Awesome! I have entered in over 1500 leads and am able to manage them easily. I can't believe this has been out there and I haven't noticed it!...more info
• Executive CardScan Review - Nice, but NOT Highly Accurate
  I would have thought by now that current OCR software would make reading business cards fairly accurate and reliable. I am the President of a company and expect to be able to quickly enter business cards without having to spend a lot of time reviewing for accuracy. However, I have to make modifications to scanned cards about 50% of the time which arguably defeats having the device. A quick typist could enter just as fast.
  
  My recommendation is that if you are quick on the keyboard, this is not a great investment unless you can afford to waste the money. If you are slow at data entry, this probably will save time over the course of a 100 or so cards.
  
  More time or money needs to be spent on improving the OCR software. When they can reliably obtain 80% or more accuracy, I would more favorably endorse....more info
• Much better than prior version / very precise.
  This thing really works.
  I owned a prior version and the software was kind of clumpsy.
  
  This new model is not. I'm a Business Man living in Sth. America and it detects Spanish card with no problem.
  
  A bit pricey and not very portable, but if you like to keep your contact network in mint condition this is a must.

• What a time saver! Easy to use and install.
  I network a lot to promote my product and services. Before I bought the CardScan, the cards would pile up; the thought of typing cards into Outlook was a boring chore that never got done. Now, in less than 10 minutes, I can take an evening's worth of cards and get them into Outlook and my phone.
  
  The scanning and OCR is extremely reliable for such an inexpensive device. (I used to develop OCR applications.) There are some cards and fonts that don;t scan well, but thta is to be expected.
  
  All in all, anyone in sales, marketing or any position where collecting a lot of cards is important should have one....more info
• It is great!
  I have a lot of reservation about how it can decipher the information and put it in the right fields. I have a lot of business cards from overseas, and they are of all fonts, and styles. But I was pleasantly surprised by CARDSCAN abilility to process the information and put it in the right fields. We may have to tweak here and there, but it is much better than typing in everything yourself. I highly recommend it....more info
• Great at what it does...
  For scanning business cards, there's nothing better. However, the software provided looks like it comes from the 90s. It could be much nicer and do so much more... Still - recommended....more info
• Card Scan
  The scanner and software exceeded my expectations. Setup instructions are simple. The scanner is fast and accurate. And when you do need to edit, the process is easy. The software also provides additional excellent features such as the ability to maintain a parallel contact database in addition to Outlook. ...more info
• Works as expected
  We purchased this for our VP to use. I tested it and it works just as expected. No problems installing the software or configuring it to sync with Outlook. The scanner was properly detected as plug 'n' play in Windows XP and there were no issues....more info
• Excellent Product - Easy to Use
  The CardScan is an excellent product. Very easy to set up and use. If you get a lot of business cards in your profession, and you want to have a very functional and organized contact management system - this is it. Once you scan the card, you can quickly and easily click on the contact and send them and email, or visit their website - all this is done automatically and flawlessly with CardScans OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. It may seem pricy at around $250, but it's well worth it. ...more info
• Vista bug a deal killer
  We bought the 800c to install on a new Vista machine. However, it will not run. Out IT person has searched the net and tried tech support. After 30 min he was disconnected. Hard to believe they can not solve this.
  Beware....more info
• So easy to use
  This piece of equipment was so easy to set up. Literally within 5 minutes of opening up the package, I was scanning my cards. I still haven't figured out the Ipod sharing or the Outlook email stuff, but the actual scanning part is a piece of cake....more info
• It is getting much better
  I have held off getting a card scanner for a long time because I knew that it would be a challenge to find one that could pick up all of the characters and put them in the correct place in Outlook. This one has come a long way. You still need to check each card carefully. Because each company can have such unique titles or logos often only part of the company name is picked up, or a number 1 is seen as a number 7. I do find, that though I type very quickly, this scan process is effective. A bit pricy though for not being able to be "perfect." They do have a 30 day trial which for some people might be the ideal answer....more info
• Exactly what I needed.
  I am so far very happy with this product. It's quick and extremely accurate (I have to correct 1/15 cards which I find to be a very decent ratio). The best part is the software. It's very easy to use, and does exactly what you want with no unnecessary options. I find too many programs today have so much clutter that it's impossible to find the useful buttons. Overall I am very happy with it.
  
  I am also quite intrigued with the "at you service" product that allows you to store and access your contacts online. I haven't signed up to it because I have an uneasy feeling having my contacts on the web. Has anyone had any experience with it? Please leave feedback if you have.

• Excellent
  I have been using for over 6-8 months, and absolutely love it. No matter how i insert the card, it grabs the information. Some cards are difficult to read..however such cards are essentially few and far between..these are mostly non-traditional and extremely silly "business" cards.
  
  Overall good compatibility...i export the cards to outlook and then to my phone...Has helped me get rid of my stack of 1000+ visiting cards, and make them more manageable...Highly recommended!...more info
• Excellent scanner
  I bought this for my office, as I am perpetually behind on keeping contacts current on my computer. This scanner makes it very easy. The process is quick and the character recognition - despite one of the other reviews I read - is very accurate. I was constantly amazed at how well the scanner and the software performed....more info
• CardScan does not work with Thunderbird
  Product does not work with the Mozilla Thunderbird email client. The support is terrible. No one from CardScan returns emails or voice mails. I can't even get an RMA so I can return the product. The AtYourService software does not work. I have high speed Internet access, and saving the contacts file to the network account fails repeatedly. If fact, it's never worked. The dialog box shows progress, and then for an unexplained reason, it fails for request timeout. Save your money and time....more info
