This review is from: NeatReceipts Neat Business Cards Mobile Full Color Card Reader/Scanner (Office Product)
Out of all the business card scanners I have tried, including the ones that friends and associates use, the neat business card bundle is the best. The character recognition is very good, but it has some trouble with really small characters. Sometimes I have to scan a card a few times to get it centered correctly, even after cleaning the unit. All in all this is a great product and one that I recommend to anyone who collects alot of business cards.

Gave it a fair try, found it was a complete waste.,
By GradStudent (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NeatReceipts Neat Business Cards Mobile Full Color Card Reader/Scanner (Office Product)
I did my share of research online, and read reviews on a quite a few websites. In retrospect, I think I should have paid closer attention to the other negative reviews. Of the positive reviews, I doubt that the posters recognize what happened "behind the scenes" with their hard drive and operating system (see last paragraph). To be fair, the unit I received may have been defective, but keep reading....
I received the product and downloaded the most recent software and drivers. Went through the install process as described. Tried scanning my first card. The scan quality was so horrible that I think I may have received a defective unit. Each scan looked like a blur of colors and lines. After 10-15 tries, the software was able to pick up the NAMES (just the names!) on the business cards about 1 out of every 4 times. I decided to uninstall the software, and this is where things got messy. The install program apparently installed multiple programs to Windows XP. The main program is a resource hog. Uninstalling doesn't remove everything installed. This is extremely sloppy programming and shows a lack of "respect" for customer's home computers. Even if I HAD received a defective unit, the software and install/uninstall experience deserve the 1 star. If you are like me, and like to keep your computer clean and running well, the software with this product makes a mess of your hard drive and operating system. I had to sift through my registry manually and run specialized software just to ensure that everything was removed- and I'm STILL not 100% that I've completely erased the traces of this software. Even if I could get a new unit that actually scanned well, I wouldn't. The software and install/uninstall process is just sloppy. Inexcusably sloppy.

Trade show necessity,
By nssf "nssf" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NeatReceipts Neat Business Cards Mobile Full Color Card Reader/Scanner (Office Product)
I used to have drawers full of business cards when I came back from CES and other trade shows that I go to every year. I would have to sort through them and try to find names and numbers. I never got around to putting them into a physical file, and really, it was just a mess. This is a terrific solution to that mess. I simply drop cards into the scanner, which doesn't take up much space on my desk, and they're into my database. I love that I can make notes on each, so I can remember where I met people and what we talked about. Works just like it said it would.
