4.0 out of 5 stars It's not a duplex scanner, September 23, 2007

By	BJ (Sacramento,CA) - See all my reviews

I was looking for a duplex card scanner to scan ID/insurance cards at a medical practice. Amazon did not have information on this scanner to say for sure, but some other sites online did note that this is scanner can do double-sided scanning. This is *not* a duplex scanner. The included software allows the user to scan a double-sided card as a single record, but the user must manual scan both sides of the card separately. There are other scanners out there that can scan both sides in a single pass...Ambir and ScanShell both make these types of scanners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, December 13, 2008

By	Kevin Mccourt - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have scanned over 500 cards using this new scanner. It has worked great and recognized over 90% of the content correctly. Only has problems with fancy fonts or cards that are hard to read in the first place. I highly recommend this card scanner!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, this is great!!, October 5, 2008

By	Poppers (NV, USA) - See all my reviews

After reading the other reviews I was concern about the scanner, however, my time and buget was limited and I had a lot of cards to input. So, I decided to give the scanner a try.

I was pleasantly confirmed that I made the right choice. It does have problems recognizing hand written cards and fancy font - which is good for me to know about my own business cards, however, it's real easy to fix when adding notes about my new business associates.

Overall, I really like my scanner, I found the whole system easy to install, the program user friendly, and the set up quick to start scanning - about 5 - 10 minutes. I was able to scan 50 cards, add notes and edit recognition issues within minutes - about 15.

Hope this helps!
