Can Anyone Recommend a Business Card Scanner?

My husband, a builder, and I have decided to jointly purchase a business card scanner. I volunteered to do the research and, of course, came right to ActiveRain where I can always get solid advice.

Do any of you use one on a regular basis? We are looking for 1) easy to configure, 2) easy to use, 3) feed in to Outlook (and Access as an added bonus).

I am all about technology, but sometimes things that make it to market are 'not ready for primetime.' If you have one that you like--or one that you don't--would you mind sharing?

Thanks!

I had a CARDSCAN and didn't like it. Not sure what's on the market now!

I don't have a brand name but i can tell you that there are only a couple of them made. A fantastic tool to keep you organized. Office Depot.

Holly, Neat Receipts is a wonderful tool. Scans business cards, as well as organizing all your receipts for tax purposes. I bought one for my husband, and ended up using it myself as well.

I have used cardscan and have been pretty happy with it, although there are some quirks its a good machine for that purpose

Richard--What did you not like about CARDSCAN? I just had someone else recommend that one.

Thanks, James and Scott for your comments.

Debi--What does Neat Receipts do with the cards once they are scanned? Does it transfer in to Outlook, or is it an image?

Holly, yes, it transfers automatically into Outlook!

Debi, Thanks for the information. I kind of like the idea of one tool to do two things.

Shannon, I will let you know what i end up deciding.
