CardScan Executive 700 Compact Business Card Scanner

Announcing the CardScan Executive 700, the latest generation of the world's best-selling business card reader. It's half the size and weight of the previous Executive and far more powerful. Imagine scanning a business card in just two seconds. Finding contacts is even faster and easier, using a completely redesigned user interface. And the sleek new design looks great on your desk, in just half the space. CardScan Executive offers Corex's fastest scanning speed, full compatibility with every popular contact program and portable device, and advanced features like color scanning, storing your contacts on the Web, making fail-safe backups, and offering a contact information updating service.

Imagine all of your business cards in one very powerful system. Need to confirm a meeting? You find the contact's business card on your computer instantly, along with the notes you wrote on the back. Click on the email address, and a pre-addressed email pops up. Click on the street address, and Mapquest gives you directions to your meeting. The real genius of CardScan is how it saves time you didn't even know you were wasting, in ways you didn't know were possible. Let's say you only remember a few letters of an address or phone number. CardScan still finds your contact quickly. It syncs to other contact managers and portable devices, and makes your records Web-accessible. CardScan even keeps your records updated.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I am glad I purchased my Cardscan 700, but there are some significant unfortunate missed opportunities and because of that some important functions cannot be done at all. My impression is that this is the best product on the market, due to its scanning properties, which are quite good. There are some serious deficiencies though in the rest of the software which would be nice to have fixed, and which in some cases render the device somewhat useless, since the output cannot be transferred to a useful place.
