CardScan – Scanning Business Cards
When Ponzi asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I wasn't sure what to tell her. I've got just about everything I could possibly want for my PC. Still, I started to browse peripherals – even though I was hard pressed to find anything I really needed or wanted. That's when I remembered the CardScan machine – a microscanner that was designed to streamline the indexing of business card information. You place a card on the tray, the scanner sucks it in, and a second later you've got their information OCR'ed on your screen (almost perfect for people with OCD). By and large, this has proven to be an amazing gift – and one that'd I'd heartily recommend to anybody who has a million business cards sitting in a drawer somewhere. I only wish the software would allow me to select what information I need to interpret, otherwise I have to edit the recognized text; the solution is about 80% perfect, but compared to what I was doing before – this is a godsend. Seriously, my guess is that you want a CardScan unit (whether you know it or not). I got the CardScan Executive 700 Business Card Scanner – which includes the CardScan.net service (yet another amazing product). Dude. Seriously. Check it out.
