Many odd thoughts on portable scanners
A business card reader is a scanner cum management system that can read and automatically process the information in visiting cards to digitally store the information in its proper corresponding field. The contact details on the card, such as the name, title, company, address, city, state, zip, country, phone, fax, mobile, email, and web address are all automatically stored for easy referencing digitally. A business card reader employs advanced OCR (Optical Character Reader) technology to identify the information on the business card in order to accurately file the text under the relevant heads. It is, thus, a very effective tool for storing and managing one's contact information. Contrary to what might appear at first thought, a business card reader is still not redundant in this age of smart phones and personal digital assistants.
