Business Card Scanners take it up one Notch!
Long before scanners become the fashion, people routinely copied important pieces of information and then filed them away for future use. Scanners brought a mini-revolution to the office environment; people were now able to scan important papers (i.e. ID cards, health insurance cards, etc.) and download it to a permanent, digitally retrievable file. The business card scanner takes the scanner to the next level – the ability to scan business cards using a lightweight, portable scanning device.
Imagine the practicality
How many times have you collected business cards during a business lunch or at a business meeting, only to misplace the business cards as soon as your return to the office or hotel room? What could have turned out to be an excellent contact just vanished into thin air! Not so with a portable business card scanner. Simply remove your business cards from your coat, pants pocket or wallet and swipe them through the scanner – even before you leave the restaurant or the meeting room. Since the portable scanner requires no separate power source, all you need to do is connect it to your laptop with a regular USB cable. Within seconds, your business card info is uploaded to one of your computer’s many applications. You then have a digital archived record forever. Now you can leave your business lunch or meeting with more confidence – no longer will you have to wildly search for hours for your missing business cards.
But how does it work?
The business card scanner operates like other scanning machines, except it’s specifically designed for business card usage. When you swipe a business card, it reads the information on the card by utilizing optical character recognition (OCR) technology. It then downloads the data into on of the computer’s applications for easy retrieval. What’s even more amazing is that this miracle device can even capture the card’s image, and then downloads it to one of the computer’s applications. When you open the file, you’ll see the exact digital replicate of the business card, including any graphics or logos. That often makes it easier to remember a new client’s business, especially if it’s an unusual graphic or logo. The business card scanner has just acted like your own personal assistant, minus the huge price.
The business card scanner scans and reads business cards accurately and quickly each and every time. It’s portable size is extremely convenient for all airport personnel.
