Declutter your desk! October 29, 2007

The CardScan is one of those products that you wonder why people buy until you get one and can see the advantages. I keep all of my contacts in outlook but that means having to read the small print on business cards and the type the information accurately in. Like most people I just end up with a pile of cards not entered into Outlook. After loading the software just plug in the card scan devise. It's solid, well made and does not slip on the desk. You can feed cards in at about the rate of one a second and it takes a copy of the scanned image and uses OCR software to populate the fields in its own contact manager software. Its accuracy rate is very high except on business cards that have fancy shapes that cover text. Hardly the fault of Cardscan. Just one tip with the Cardscan. Use the device at a height of about three inches so that the cards fall flat onto the desk. If you don't do this and scan a lot of cards they can slip underneath previous cards and be difficult to find if you need to review or rescan cards.
Once the image is captured you can review and edit the fields on the card. Underneath content fields is the card of the card and one click zooms the card to check details. A great feature. Once you have verified the cards I transfer them to Outlook automatically via the synchronize feature which works well. You end up with two databases but they are both in sync. The great thing about the CardScan database is that you have the image of the card plus anything that you wrote on it. It's much easier to remember people when you can see their card than just seeing the raw list in Outlook. Overall the CardScan database is better than Outlook in terms of easy of use but lacks some of the integration features.
I now have no piles of business cards at all and can access my card database over the internet from anywhere using Cardscans free service. A nice feature. It just needs a bit more work on being able to select all information on the database and the card feed issue then it would be perfect.
