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

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.

Had high hopes for this business card scanner as my company has been a DYMO label writer user for 25+ years. However, this item's software, and very arguably this unit itself, is obsolete and does not authenticate or work on any current or recent Mac or PC operating system, making this a very expensive paperweight. This item does not work for the intended purpose of scanning business cards. Save yourself the frustration I had of trying to get this thing to work with support calls, different old computers, etc. and get another scanner.

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.

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.

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.

LOVE this product. I am an executive assistant, and the Execs give me a lot of business cards to turn into Outlook contacts. This reader works great (with a little editing occasionally), and I was able to scan, edit, and import to Outlook over 100 cards in about 30 minutes. You can make multiple lists for different contact owners, and then email the entire list to each owners to be imported into their personal contacts. It has been a total life saver!

Cannot use this with Windows 11 and Microsoft Exchange

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

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

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

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