This is a great idea for business people that often collect other’s business cards for contacts. Instead of trying to keep a physical collection, which can get lost or ruined, you simply scan them and store them on your computer. No more shuffling through stacks of business cards to find the right one. Now they’re all at your finger tips and stored safely away for when you need them.

“In just 3 seconds, this palm-sized scanner converts a business card into a digital file that resides on a computer, eliminating cumbersome rotary card files and time-consuming typing. Simply insert a standard business card into the slot and the scanner automatically captures it in 600 dpi resolution. The included software then converts the scanned image into text for easy searching, editing, and retrieval, or exports it to your preferred contact management application, including Outlook, ACT!, and Lotus Notes. The scanner reads single- or double-sided cards, and a batch option allows you to quickly input multiple cards.”
