The CardScan Executive scanner can scan up to 20 business cards a minute in color. Known for fast, accurate performance, the scanner works with native Mac software to help you convert the data on business cards into a digital form that's easy to use.
You can also use the CardScan software to consolidate contact information from electronic sources, including web sites and email signatures. With drag-and-drop performance, the CardScan makes creating a complete contact record as easy as highlighting the contact data you want, dragging it over the list area of the CardScan window, and releasing.
Designed to work with Mac OS 10.5.3+ (Leopard), the new easy-to-use CardScan interface combines Mac-specific design with many of the functions that have made CardScan for Windows an award-winning choice for business professionals. Updated CardScan sofware for Windows is also included in the Executive package, so you can be sure you'll have access to the version that meets your needs.
Manage Contacts With Ease
Once your contacts are entered in the CardScan software, you can assign single or multiple customizable categories to each one. This makes it easy to sort contacts, view them in groups, and prepare lists of contacts for email or direct mail. Plus with the easy-to-use Print Wizard, creating custom envelopes, labels, and more is hassle-free. All this means that outreach projects get done faster and are easier to keep track of.
Using the "Batch Scan" feature to scan a whole stack of business cards at once lets you quickly assign several cards the same category or notes, saving you time. And when you can't remember someone's name, but you know what their business card looks like, the image view feature lets you fan through color images of all your scanned business cards.
Stay in Sync on the Move
Keep your contact list up-to-date across the applications and mobile devices that you use on a daily basis. Since CardScan can be set up to sync automatically with Mac's Address Book, it's easy to keep the contact lists in your iPhone, iPod, and MobileMe network in synch, too. It's equally easy to export information as vCards (electronic business cards) to other software, including Microsoft Entourage.
All CardScan products offer a risk-free 30-day trial. And all new CardScan Executive systems include software for both Windows and Mac OS.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Works for me, flawlessly!,
By
This review is from: CardScan Executive Card Scanner (Mac) (Office Product)
Fortunately, I was eligible for a $179 competitive upgrade direct from the manufacturer for an old CardScan Windows brick I found down in my basement in the box of orphaned peripherals. I had loved CardScan back in my Windows days, but had lost hope that they would come out with a Mac version. In the meantime, I had struggled with the kludgey I.R.I.S. business card scanner for mac and its flakey crapware that really didn't integrate with Mac Address Book all that well and had a horrible OCR recognition error rate and field parsing engine and seemed to run like it was written in Javascript.
Well, I'm happy that the Mac version of CardScan works flawlessly for me with a typical Mac setup (an Intel Mac Book Pro running 10.5.5.) and that setup was a snap. With some trepidation, I synched with my Address Book and no precious contact data was lost or damaged. I then scanned some business cards and it parsed the various fields with almost 100% accuracy, including some tricky company names in graphic logos, and put the data in a suggested "inspector" window. One click to verify (or change any fields with a linked zoom to the card pane view) and the new card data is in the CardScan database and then synched with your mac Address Book. Couldn't be easier! Very satisfied user! While I'm not a frequent Amazon reviewer or any kind of computer expert, I wanted to post a counter review to the two negative reviews recently posted. While individual products and installations can sometimes be flaky and your mileage may vary, I found this CardScan product to be as good as I remember the Windows version being and better, because everything's better on a Mac (including Address Book being better than the fugly Outlook ecosystem).

1.0 out of 5 stars
Questionable Business Practice,
By
This review is from: CardScan Executive Card Scanner (Mac) (Office Product)
I bought this product a year ago after seeing it at the Macworld Expo and and initially liked it. But the initial excitement wore off quickly:
1.) When I synced with my address book, I lost all my address book entries. This is a rather big deal, so please make sure you back up your address book before you sync. 2.) I bought a new Mac recently and installed the cardscan software on that new Mac. To my surprise, it turned out that I was not able to use the software on both my old and my new Mac. I received a message that the license key was already used and that I had to buy a new one (for $207.99!). This is despite the fact that, when I bought the scanner and the software, there was no mention of any restriction of the license to one seat or one computer or one user. The order confirmation did not mention any license restrictions and the license agreement that is embedded in the software does not refer to such restriction. I believe strongly in intellectual property protection, BUT, but it is a very questionable business practice to disable the use of a product that a customer paid for in full until an additional (and, I might add, substantial) amount is paid when that was not part of the purchase or license agreement. Obviously, if taken to court, the company would lose. But if you are not prepared to go to that kind of trouble, you might want to stay away from this product. When I emailed the company inquiring about this business practice, I received no reply to my question. 3.) When it became clear that the company was not going do to anything about the random license restriction, I asked about the necessary steps to remove the software and all related files from my old Mac in order to be able to use the license key with my new Mac. Saying that this was like pulling teeth would be a huge understatement. I had to send 7 or 8 emails to finally get the answers. Mind you, this is something that is normally clearly stated on a software company's website or is even in the embedded help file. And even if not, it hardly ever takes more than one email to a software company to get clear instructions; not even from small software developers who don't have a dedicated customer support team. If you plan on using this product on one computer only, don't plan on buying a new computer that you want to use the scanner with and don't plan on contacting customer support, you will probably be fine. Otherwise, I would think twice about buying this scanner.

No Cigar!,
By
This review is from: CardScan Executive Card Scanner (Mac) (Office Product)
The only game in town (that I know of) for scanning cards on a MAC.
Three negatives: *Mistake prone: some evident, some you might miss (don't believe everything you see) *Slow and hangs *Can totally screw up MAC Address Book and Entourage data when syncing if you're not paying attention Not quite ready for prime time as a business app on MAC
