this card reader really works with outlook. saves so much time at least 80% of time is saved in comparision to typing the contacts into outlook. just minor corrections needed because people do funny things with their card. i get about 30 visiting cards per week. a big relief to me at least. look through web for a price bargain. but very good investment if you can afford it...

I really like the product. I had to call and get a link for the software as it comes with a CD and I don't have any computer with a CD drive. The wait time was long but the service was professional and quick. They should include a link to the software on their site or in their packaging.

It does work very well once up and running.

The DYMO CardScan v9 is a Godsend for me. I am in marketing and attend dozens of trade shows and conferences each year collecting networking contacts and customer leads non-stop. It isn't uncommon to get home from an event with 50 to 75 cards I need to get into my contact list and into a database for lead nurturing. In most cases this device and software captures all the information on the card with absolute accuracy requiring no editing on my part. With some of the more insane card designs out there I will have to edit the data captured, but that isn't hard and I still save hours getting the business card data into Outlook and SFDC. The biggest plus for me, however, is the software's ability to interpret international phone numbers and addresses. My employer issued me a competing product and while it worked okay, it did not integrate into MS Office and it could not handle non-US addresses or phone numbers. That was a non-starter for me.

Another cool feature of the CardScan v9 software is the ability to scan any image of a card. I can take a photo of a business card with my smartphone and use CardScan to get all the data into Outlook and SFDC.

I love this product. it saves me dozens of man-hours at work each month.

The set-up of the system was quick and easy to do. It is simple to use and is a great time saver. Unfortunately, scanner technology has not changed much from 1999 when I first used a card scanner. The small inconvenience of having to verify the entry is vastly outweight by the fact that you do not have to type in every piece of information from a business card. I would recommend this product to someone that needs to scan cards often and needs to send the information to others as well.

I bought a Cardscan 60ii a couple years ago and It stopped working when I changed laptops to a 64 bit system. Customer Support figured that out pretty quickly and offered to send me a replacement unit at no charge. Meanwhile I had purchased a Cardscan Executive which I use at the offfice and it works great. So now I've got two units but I'll keep them both because I'm pleased with the service. Not something I normally would say or do, and not something I'm used to when making purchases online. Good job Dymo.
