5.0 out of 5 stars Scans right into Outlook with no mistakes, February 7, 2008

By	Jon Hopkins (Mequon, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for something that would just scan cards directly into an outlook contact without going through clumsy intermediate contact management tools. This does it perfectly. Plugged it in, ran the install, calibrated and was scanning cards into outlook in about 5 minutes. couldn't be easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! 10++, May 18, 2008

I received this scanner as a birthday gift and I love it. Our collection of business cards cluttering up our wallets, drawers, etc. are now gone! This was incredibly easy to use once it was installed. Since I'm not very savvy about installing new software, I called tech support for help and they did an excellent job helping me get it done. I highly recommend this scanner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just ok, November 4, 2008

By	Book lover "Vicki" (Webster, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I had to return the first scanner I received because it did not work. This company does not provide any telephone contact information; you have to go to their website and send an e-mail. However, once you contact them, they are very helpful and very responsive. The second scanner I received does a good job of reading business cards. I do find it is necessary to check the information for accuracy before saving. The only time there seems to be a problem is when the business card is graphic intensive.
