Reviewed on 2006-10-13 dont buy it!!!!! this is a piece of junk, it never worked fine, or the software crashes, or the scan results are terrible and very very slow.

Reviewed on 2004-06-10 Frustrated user If you like the poor working device with NO support - the Visioneer CardReader is just for you! I have tried to download and install all recommended updates but it doesn't work. The customer support is unacceptably awful!

Reviewed on 2004-05-17 buy from mfg for $99 buy from Mfg for $99.00 and do not pay Amazon's list plus pricing.

Reviewed on 2003-12-29 Just Does Not Cut It..... I had to return this scanner because it did not capture text near the edges of most of the business cards, no matter what I tried (Calibrating, Re-Orienting and re-feeding the cards). Updating the scanner drivers with the website download did not help. Visioneer's online support is unacceptably awful. Also, the bundled OCR software is not up to the task. The trial version of Corex Cardscan which I loaded for comparison performed much better with more accurate text recognition and field placement.
