Review on πŸ“‡ DYMO Canon CardScan Personal v8 Card Scanner compatible with 32-bit operating systems by Carlos Cardoso

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent for the price

Contrary to other comments, this installed easily on my Win 7 64bit laptop. Last night I scanned 230 of my cards in two hours and have about 500 more to create. No, it's not perfect, but it's very good at identifying names, jobs, companies and the like. However, be prepared to make corrections as this is not ideal with graphics and dividing company names into departments or groups. Apparently he does not recognize my written comments and only makes black and white. But it saves an image of each card, which you can export as individual JPGs (the filename is the person's name). Agents, distributors, contract houses and the like. This allows you to set and select categories for your maps. I have categories for Sales, Marketing, FAE, FSE, Technicians, Agents, Dealers, Manufacturers, etc. You can have multiple categories for each card. The only thing I would like to do is enable cross-company communication for agents and distributors. Representative is easy, just make a copy and change the company name to the company they represent. It involves installing the software on both home and work computers for a single license. I can't say anything about reliability yet, but for the price and features, I've ordered a second one for my office. I will definitely consider the Enterprise version for our engineering department. The efficiency gain alone would be worth the cost of a volume license.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • No performance
