1 out of 5 stars Nothing but problems with this card reader.......2006-06-24

I would NOT recommend this item. I had problem after problem with it and, in the end, it was not useful at all. While the tech support email service was notably quick in responding, their fixes could not salvage this effectively useless product.

1) As noted by another reviewer, the driver is not digitally signed for xp. Tech support said they didn't want to pay for it and that it worked fine in their tests, but if other companies are getting their products approved, I am inclined to switch to them.

2) The recognition part of the software was unable to properly read in a card. The scans were reasonably clean, but the ORC would come up with at most the person's name and maybe part of their title, but other categories (company, email) would be random characters and the remaining categories would not be filled.

3) Unhelpful tech support. Tech support emails were responded to quickly, but the advice was not particularly helpful and was unable to solve the problems I was having.

The scanner works great, it works well for processing a single card and multiple cards. easy to use and good quality business card scans. A great value for the price.

5 out of 5 stars Timesaver and simple.......2006-02-25

This little device actually does what it claims to do! Quick and easy install, and if you are technically savy you really don't need the directions for running it. Worth the price and effort.

This card reader is what I expected. It gets the job done. The quality of the image is a little grainy, but overall I am pleased with the product. I can carry all the business cards I want with me on a laptop. I can categorized them into separate databases with filenames that are meaningful to me and access them quickly, and move the database files to another computer and access them after installing the card reader software. As long as I back up the database files, I'll always have access to them. Even if I have to replace my hard drive and reinstall my operating system.

The card reading ability of the device is worse than the rational customer might expect. The error rate I experienced was around 35%. I had scanned 30 cards, wasting time correcting data, and then the program crashed. In OSX. I hardly ever see a program crash. But here's the kicker: it didn't save the work at any point. In fact, there was no save funtion I could find easily, just export. I returned it right away, and ordered the CardScan Executive, which I run under Windows XP in Boot Camp. While it costs twice as much, its error rate is much more forgivable, at about 10%, with about 25% perfect scans/reads so far. Plus, the automatic saving and free online card data storage and synching are beyond my expectations. You get what you pay for.
