 Nothing but problems with this card reader June 24, 2006

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.

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.

This is a superb product. Electronic rolodex with the options to export to Outlook and many other programs. Automatically fills in the information from the card to the program. Great feature!
