Saving time capturing business cards is only the beginning.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fast, accurate, portable and affordable! CardScan Personal is our
basic contact management tool. Save time capturing contact data
from business cards, websites, emails and more, and manage them
in our software, Microsoft® Outlook®, Outlook® Express, the Palm®
Desktop or Windows® Mobile Device.
Scanning business cards is only half the story. You’re likely
getting as many contacts in email these days. We make quick work
of that, too.
Simply highlight the contact information in an email signature,
web page or other text file and drag it over to the CardScan
software. It’s instantly placed into the correct fields. It can’t
be much easier than that!
If you’re sync’ing to Outlook, you now have your contact data
there too, all with one click of the mouse. CardScan is also the
only leading business card reader with online back-up, web access
and an updating service. We keep your data safe so you can access
it anytime.
User Interface
How’s it different from other CardScan products?
CardScan Personal is our most affordable system. It’s designed
for an individual to use. It includes the same software as
CardScan Executive without the ability to sync with ACT!, Lotus
Notes and GoldMine. The scanner is monochrome only unlike the
Executive which is color or monochrome and faster.
The Personal scanner is our smallest and is designed for travel.
All CardScan systems are equally reliable and equally accurate.
They all include our 30-day risk free trial.
Note: CardScan Personal does not currently work with 64-bit
Windows systems.

Frequently Asked Questions:
---------------------------
CardScan® Personal Business Card Scanner
How long will it take me to set up the product and get my cards
scanned in?
You can set up your CardScan system in about five-ten minutes
for individual users, or a few minutes more if you are using one
of our solutions for CRM systems. Between 20-40 cards can be
scanned per minute, depending on your system and whether you scan
in color or black and white.
Can the product read hand written notes?
The product will scan hand written notes, but will not be able
to interpret them. An image will be saved of the notes for you to
refer to or type in later.
Can it scan insurance cards/receipts/driver’s licenses?
The card will scan most anything that fits within the dimensions
of the width of a business card, but the software is not set up
to put the information on cards other than business cards into
special fields. The image of these cards will be saved, however.
What PDAs does CardScan work with?
Currently, CardScan works with Palm, Handspring, Sony CLI É and
Windows Mobile devices.
How accurate is your product?
CardScan can accurately scan most business cards. If you can
read the card, CardScan can also. The product will also highlight
any fields it feels might be wrong so you can verify the
information and correct it if necessary.
