Similar to other computer scanners,
a business card reader allows a user to scan business cards
into their computer for digital storage. Computer scanners are capable of
scanning and converting text documents to typed text by use of OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) software. Business card readers work on a similar
principle, reading the text on the business card and converting to typed text
on the computer.
Some business card readers offer the
functionality of scanning a business card directly into a Microsoft
Outlook contact record. Other readers can scan to a web format, directly
to a new computer file, to a database or even to a CRM system, like
SalesForce.com or Microsoft CRM. Some business card readers are capable of
connecting to PDA devices, smartphones, and tablet computers.
Today, many people are replacing business
card readers with smartphones with apps capable of scanning and
storing business card information.
