Cardsscan for home office users

I chose the Cardsscan 60 for my home office needs. I had a large stack of cards that I couldn't enter into Outlook. I'm using Vista and had some initial problems loading software during the autostart process. I had to restart the installation and then open the files on the hard drive and then manually select the .exe program to start the installation. It worked. After installing the software, the program works very well. The scanner is rated as slightly slower than larger models, but to be honest I don't think it's money well spent. A scan speed of 60 is fine for my needs. I processed over 100 cards in 20 minutes including edit checks. Cardsscan syncs very well with Outlook 2003, which I use as my contact database. Of course why, but when I lifted the scanner up and tilted it back while holding the card, the scanner started to work and accepted the cards. I emailed Cardscan and they gave me a phone number to call this week. It seems to read all common American and European map styles very well. It cannot read company names if they are part of logos or wild fonts. It's about 80% accurate, which means you have to go back and review and edit some of the cards as you process them. Definitely worth it, saves a lot of time and keeps my database up to date.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Nothing
