I've scanned over 600 cards now and it's been very easy. The included software is user friendly. The scanner itself seems to recognize text well, but it has a hard time with small fonts and cards with dark backgrounds. Additionally, it can't recognize phrases if they aren't perfectly horizontal or vertical. Correcting missed phrases is easy to handle in the software during the verification step. Using the software's export wizard has been a bit of a trial, but now that I've determined the right settings it's been great. Overall, an amazing little scanner and it has been super helpful for my business.

CardScan works very well, its OCR software is almost perfect with less than 5% errors, easily corrected in a few keystrokes.
I don't give 5 stars only because CardScan has minor bugs when synchronizing with Outlook 2003. You must close Outlook 2003 to avoid a weird error message. Unfortunately, there's no help in the manual or in the company website.

Overall, this product has made life easier although it is not perfect. I like how the product sychronizes with Outlook. It also has some nice features such as linking to mapquest. Complaints include optical character recognition works perfectly about 60 percent of the time. I ususally have to make some minor modifications to the other 40-percent. When it does work, it usually does a great job of putting the proper information in the right fields. My expectations are likely high for this type of technology. It also seems to have problems with thicker cards and cards with raised or thick printing that tend to hang up in the reader. This problem has led to smudges on the reader that are next to impossible to clean off given the enclosed design.
Overall though, it beats having to enter information manually and I do not regret buying the product. If you have lots of cards, this beats the rolodex anyday!
