Lost all my contacts

This is the worst electronic product I have ever bought in my life. After purchasing the product, I scanned and threw away all of my 200 business cards. Within a week he lost all my contacts. I don't use it for about 3 months (since it's unusable) and my cards are starting to accumulate again. I figured I should reinstall the software and try again. I tried downloading the driver from their website. I was guided through the registration process and promised to get the driver at the endโ€ฆ

Very useful and accurate

I'm not sure why the previous reviewer had so many character recognition issues. There may be a defect in the particular device he received. In my case, it did an excellent job of detecting dates on a large number of business cards. Very quick and easy to use. I didn't have the Outlook integration enabled, but I set it up so that the Cardscan contact list is available in Outlook and it worked fine. My only negative has to do with the free online backup they offer: the fine print tells you thatโ€ฆ

Great but not for Windows 7

I had no problems connecting this product. As I said, it was quickly scanned. There was a problem scanning some darker business cards. Also, I have many business cards that have Chinese characters in some places and then the same information in English. Those cards were clearly a nightmare. It's difficult to see every element of the map for verification, but it's much better and faster than typing it in manually. Within a week of receiving my card scan, my computer was drained so I was given aโ€ฆ

Executive CardScan Review - Nice but NOT very accurate

I thought current OCR software would make business card reading pretty accurate and reliable. I'm the president of a corporation and I expect to be able to type business cards quickly without spending a lot of time verifying accuracy. However, about 50% of the time I have to make changes to the scanned cards, which probably robs the device. A fast typist can type just as fast. My recommendation is that unless you can afford to waste money, it's not a very good investment if you're a fastโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Creates a digital address book from scanned business cards
Cons
  • Available in white only

Exceeded expectations

After years of putting off buying a business card scanner, I decided to take the plunge and amassed a stack of over 300 business cards. As a rule, I quickly master any technique that brings additional efficiency into my life. However, I was a bit skeptical about buying a business card scanner due to negative experiences with the product category. However, despite some shortcomings, CardScan Executive has paid off. Colleagues have argued in the past that the accuracy of such products is so lowโ€ฆ
