Corex CardScan Executive with Version 5.0 Software Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was originally very excited about this product and purchased two, one for myself and one for my brother. The CardScan will enable you to scan most of your business cards and save them in your system, thus having it all at your fingertips. The software is great, allowing you to assign categories to all the contacts, to search for contacts in various ways, and allowing export/import/transfer of data to and from PIMs, utility programs and even to PDAs. I use Outlook at work but I find the CardScan software to be more powerful for contact management.
The scanner works well most of the time. With the Auto Scan feature you can set your cards down and, if all goes right, come back later to verify the information. Cards are rapidly read and the images stored until you verify the accurate placement of the card information into the software fields.
This leads me to one of the major problems with the CardScan. Understandably it's difficult to account for all business card formats, with the contact info. being placed in all possible ways. Corex has not fully figured out how to ensure placement of the card info. into the software fields. Only about 50% of the time was most of the info. properly placed. Otherwise you'll have to go through and cut and paste into the correct fields.
The CardScan does not always cleanly scan the business cards. The software is designed to allow you to compare the scanned image of the card to the fields to which the info. was assigned. Good idea but doesn't work so well. To verify that the card was read properly, you'll have to keep your scanned cards with you. Of course, once it's verified you can put the cards away for good.
Two great features of the CardScan: (1) it allows you to scan the back of the business card and (2) you can make your own entries for those cards that are too difficult to read.

IRIS Business Card Reader II for Windows/PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I do not have that many cards but I just hate retyping them... retyping 10 cards is a waste of time and I have dozens...
I purchased this product with a "try and see" attitude (I am sincerely a tough customer to please when it comes to theses types of technologies) but I really am very satisfied with this product, not only because it does what it says it does but also because of the special advantages. I discovered this little scanner also scan pictures! I scanned ALL my 4X6 pictures in Photoshop in half the time of a regular flatbed!
Very nice product! At this price, it is a no brainer!

CardScan Office (600c/V6) Business Card Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you collect business cards, then this is a cost effective way to get the data into your ACT!, Outlook or a number of other databases. You'll save money and have more accurate data.
The software parsing works unbelievably well. In lay terms parsing means that the software knows what is a company name and what is an email address and puts them into the right place, unless the font is highly graphical. The older models couldn't read white type on dark cards, but this one can. Also, once you receive it and have the box sitting on your desk, it seems intimidating to install, but it only takes about 1/2 hour to install so that the data goes automatically into ACT!.
I test alot of software/hardware products but most of them I return. The card scanner and the palm pilot are my two staples. This product I not only use but demo. It's very impressive. And years later clients thank me for having recommended it.

A clever idea who's time has clearly come, the CardScan Office 600c scans business cards in full color, connects to your office's PC via a USB port, and uploads the card into your database using the included CardScan software.
With simple plug-and-play installation, the machine is easy to use: simply feed a card into the slot and then watch as the software deciphers the information on the card and categorizes it into the database. The machine can accurately read cards from United States, Canada, France, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom, and other countries. The CardScan Office includes six software licenses (expandable in 3, 5, or 10 user-licensing packs), enabling multiple users to access and update shared information from one database. Individual users can also create password-protected databases for private contacts. Other features include AutoMap, expanded connectivity to synchronize with more handheld devices and mobile phones, and access to CardScan.Net where users can access their business card database via any Web browser.
Small enough to fit in your hand, and durable enough to take to trade shows and meetings, the CardScan Executive is a great way to organize the stacks of business cards that would otherwise clutter your briefcase, wallet, or desk.
The CardScan Office is just right for a six-person team, but if you're looking for a CardScan just for yourself, check out the CardScan Executive 600c V6.

CardScan Personal v8 Card Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product definitely saves time, but it's NOT 100% accurate. Company and people's names aren't always scanned properly, nor are they put in the correct category (company name, mobile, etc.)
Admittedly, many fonts and logos on business cards make the company name hard to decipher (even for me!) so I can't totally blame this on the scanner. Considering how many diverse types of business cards exist in this world, it does a pretty good job.
The good news is that this product seems to understand NUMBERS very well, and I generally find numbers the most challenging characters to enter since I actually need to pay close attention (and therefore take more time).
Another aspect I like about this scanner is that it's highly portable. It small in size, includes a USB cable (which powers the device), and comes with a carrying case that accommodates both the scanner and cable. Definitely a nice feature to have.
So far I'm pleased with this item. I scanned, organized and "verified" 40 business cards in about 20 minutes, which I think is decent time. Typing them into Outlook would've taken me about 2 hours, or 3 hours factoring in "distractions."
Overall, I feel this is a good business tool to have, and Amazon's low price makes it a good value overall.
