1 out of 5 stars Poor implementation   May 9, 2008
It sounds like a very nice product but I had issues from the start. It will not scan a business card that is mostly black. Scanning pictures is almost impossible. The business card data import function is poor and the user is required to go in and make several changes to the imported cards. It is not worth the price unless you just want images of the business cards. I have returned to importing the business card information by hand because it takes longer to use the scanner and correct all the mistakes. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you have disposable income and lots of time.


4 out of 5 stars IrisCard Scan review   December 23, 2007
Overall I am happy with this scanner. It was easy to setup and get started.
I think it is a little weak on is reverse type. Matter of fact
I have yet to get the OCR to work with reverse type.
I have also exported the files to my Act database with success and the scanning is very fast.
I think it does a good job and I would recomend it to anyone with a pile of business cards on their desk.



1 out of 5 stars Nice idea, wish mine worked   July 18, 2007

The card reader I got doesn't work; cards don't feed. It feeds the calibration sheet, and that's it. It just grinds away doing nothing when I put a card in. The "online support" has an FAQ with one entry in it. Why bother?

Support is lame, 9-5 Eastern. As I live in CA, that's not really acceptable.

4 out of 5 stars Big time saver, could be better   April 4, 2007

After reading all the reviews I was quite hesitant to buy this. However I run on a Mac, and you only have two choices. I bought it from Amazon for their return policy, you can definitely find it for less elsewhere.

After scanning 18 cards, I'd say it works pretty well. It does have limitations, its pretty easy to proof read the scans and fix them. I think 'easy to use' sums it up. I think its just barely 4 stars.

The only really INFURIATING thing about it is that it has a really IRRATIONAL liking for toll free numbers - if there is a toll free number on the business card it chooses that as the primary phone number. As a salesman, you NEVER want that number, you ALWAYS want the direct dial.

It doesn't do well with two tone business cards - it will correctly read the text with light background but may not read the text with the darker background. It has trouble with "(" and ")" in phone numbers, and takes the "x" off of extension numbers. You'll quickly learn its peculiarities.

Even with all this, it saved me an immense amount of time.

FYI, I run on Mac OS 10.4.9, installation was really easy and it worked from the start. I did read and follow the 'getting started' guide on the installation CD
