CardScan Personal V8 Pass-Through Scanner

Fast & Easy

This scanner does not work with Macs or Linx. I called the company. They have other models that do, just not this one. I have a Mac and use Parallels running XP. Works fine. The set up instructions are lame, but once you get it, it's easy to use. It will scan cards as fast as I can feed it into the scanner and does a very good job of recognition. Cards with dark backgrounds and fonts that are close to handwritten don't recognize well. Fortunately I don't get many like that.

The only real downside to this is the software that runs it. You have to register it with the company via internet. If you dont have internet, you may not be able to scan cards. Also, if the company goes out of business, what then?

Overall, I like it and use it a lot.Read full review

Great scanner. Fair software

This scanner sets up easily, but only on 32 bit systems. They offer no support at all for 64 bit. The scanner itself works very well and is able to display the cards no matter what font or colour is used. However, the included software is weak in reading the card and translating it into editable text.

With 64 bit support and better OCR software, this would be a great product.Read full review

Great concept

The challenge is CardScan is no longer in business, its now DYMO and they don’t make Cardscans anymore so support is limited. But when it works its awesome!

This item is completely obsolete. It is from 2004, and only works on Windows XP, which is no longer supported. It doesn't work on new Windows.
