DYMO CardScan v9 Executive Business Card Scanner and Contact Management System for PC or Mac (1760686)

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.

bought this thing to replace a CardScan that stopped working a few months ago ( half-accepted a card, then jammed). needed it for a weekend dedicated to paperwork and importing a few hundred cards. installation worked ok, but couldn't register it. wouldn't complete the process, just hung there after plugging in the PIN. Option to activate by phone suggested to call but left no number. went to Support tab under Help and read this: Email Technical Support Call: +442035648354 Hours of Operation: Monday to Friday: 9:00 - 17:00 no idea the time zone that the support center is in.... nice phone number. shame on me for thinking a new model would be any better. this one is going back tomorrow. i wish someone would manufacture a simple business card scanner that just worked. the reviews are all over the place on these things. i'm certainly not master-of-the-universe busy, but am in sales and don't have the time to monkey around with the iphone apps that aim to do this. i want a simple little gizmo that will go through cards like a woodchipper.

Have been using an older B&W CardScan 60 for many years and loved it. Upgraded to new computer, Windows 7 64-bit and old hardware was no longer supported, which is not surprising. So I bought this new CardScan 800C and love it. The V9 software installed without a hitch and works better than older version. My old contacts database was read into the new software without problem. There are fewer mistakes in the OCR, although this may be a function of the new scanner vs. the new software. Looked into a phone app to scan cards, but many complaining reviews. This true hardware scanner purpose built for business cards probably performs much better than phone applications. One problem has cropped up; occasional lost usb connection. I have solved this by unplugging, restarting, then plugging back in. Bit of a hassle. Plus the unit bottom would get warm. So now I simply leave it unplugged until I need it; plug in; start software; do my scanning; and disconnect. This will probably allow the scanner to live longer too. Overall, very happy with the new CardScan 800C/v9.

Normally I don't write reviews but this system works. I don't use the card reader much and bought it for the contact data base program. If you are compiling a customer list, you should consider this program. The "drag and drop" is perfect for quick data entry. The "address check" seems to work well and reduces postage returns. Lots of sortable categories. It's easy to print a single envelope or a whole list. Can choose from a number of nice fonts. No crashes or conflicts yet. All and all, it's a very good program.

Junk. Plain and simple. The product is advertised as compatible with Apple OS X, but through a time intensive process of tracking down other users, have come to learn that this only works on OS X 10.7 and earlier. (?!) If you are running Yosemite (10.10) or El Capitan (10.11) you are out of luck. The Software will install, but won't recognize the scanner and there are no updated drivers for this unit. Guess I don't really understand the Dymo business model. Save yourself the trouble and buy another company's product. Disappointed.

I did find one card it wouldn't scan. Someone gave me a clear card! Their card looks cool, but this scanner will not recognize it. Other than that, the scanner and software are perfect. It interfaces with my ScanBizCards app, and has a very low error rate on OCR. There are cheaper products available, but they can't match the quality of the DYMO. The images are perfect.

Cannot use this with Windows 11 and Microsoft Exchange

Works like a dream. The integration with Office is great. Terrific timesaver.

Had a heck of a time trying to install this. Support team at cardscan was useless

The delivery was faster than expected. The card scanner was easy to setup and use. Worth the purchase. Was able to scan over 300 business cards in less than 2 hours

The product is very good it help me to organize my self.
