Excellent.......2007-09-22

I have been using for over 6-8 months, and absolutely love it. No matter how i insert the card, it grabs the information. Some cards are difficult to read..however such cards are essentially few and far between..these are mostly non-traditional and extremely silly "business" cards.

Overall good compatibility...i export the cards to outlook and then to my phone...Has helped me get rid of my stack of 1000+ visiting cards, and make them more manageable...Highly recommended!

Excellent Product - Easy to Use.......2007-09-17

The CardScan is an excellent product. Very easy to set up and use. If you get a lot of business cards in your profession, and you want to have a very functional and organized contact management system - this is it. Once you scan the card, you can quickly and easily click on the contact and send them and email, or visit their website - all this is done automatically and flawlessly with CardScans OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software. It may seem pricy at around $250, but it's well worth it.

Good product; software installation has problems.......2007-08-03

Overall, I really like the product. However, I have been on the phone with customer service twice about how it interacts with my palm software (trouble getting the two to synchronize) and had to reinstall the software a couple of times due to glitches which caused the software not to recognize the scanner. My computer also froze shortly after the installation and I have no idea if it was related to the software. After many hours at the repair shop the computer and cardscan seem to be working and when they are I am pleased but I am suspicious that the V. 8 software was not fully tested and that my issues are a result of a premature release. Customer service was patient, available and helpful.

Works Brilliantly!.......2007-07-18

My boss plopped this machine on my desk last week. He has boxes and boxes of business cards. It has worked amazingly. Really fast scanning (all color). The software picks up everything- sometimes it mis-categorizes data, but the software allows you to drag and drop, and right click copy and paste, so it is really quick to move data around. 85% of cards are perfect the first time. Highly recommend.

Frequent Errors.......2007-07-13

I just installed the Card Scan Executive for my division and am finding discrepencies between the card and the scan image about 30% of the time. As a result, it is necessary to check each scan for errors, which was an unpleasant surprise. Although it is still faster than typing all of the information in yourself, the system is certainly not flawless.

CardScan.......2007-07-03

This little device is really awesome! I am going to buy one for my son. Works like a charm, and its software is incredibly "talented" in picking the correct information off every type of card imaginable.

CardScan does what it claims.......2007-04-23

I have the CardScan Executive 700, and have used it for about a year. It works great, but I always had a couple of minor issues with the CardScan software v7. Recently purchased the v8 software upgrade, and it work so much better. The scanner just does what it should, and the v8 software works very well.

The CardScan Executive 700 with the v8 software work very well. Most cards in a traditional layout will scan and be recognized. If the color contrast is poor, or the fonts are two flowery, you may have to type in or correct information, but you will have the information and the image of the card (you can scan front and back). The new v8 software adds the ability to replace cards, when you get a newer card from an existing contact. The lookup feature is very fast even with 1500+ contacts, and the synchronization with Outlook just works (once you get it setup).

POOR AFTER SALES SERVICE.......2001-11-10

I have been disappointed with the Corex CardScan Executive. While ads claim the business card scanner will read business cards and then enable the user to import the data into other software applications, I have not had this experience.

I purchased the unit and followed the instructions for the set up. During the set up, the user must test the unit by scanning a business card into the scanner. My unit would not pull the business card over the scanner. I re-installed the software, tried again without success.

I contacted Corex customer service, and was given instructions on testing the scanning device. The results of the test indicated the unit was defective. I was instructed to return the unit, at my expense, to Corex customer service in Germany. I had to pay shipping plus customs clearance fees.

After the scanner was 'repaired' it was returned to me. Again, I had to pay customs charges in Thailand. Upon installing the unit, again it would not pull the card through the scanner. Running the same tests, it appeared I had the same or another defective unit.

I contacted Corex in the USA, and requested a new system be shipped to me. I received a nice note from Corex customer service with installation instructions, but no acknowledgement of my request.

Buy from Corex with caution, they do not support their products. Buyer Beware!

Great concept, great software, useful scanner.......2001-02-05

I was originally very excited about this product and purchased two, one for myself and one for my brother. The CardScan will enable you to scan most of your business cards and save them in your system, thus having it all at your fingertips. The software is great, allowing you to assign categories to all the contacts, to search for contacts in various ways, and allowing export/import/transfer of data to and from PIMs, utility programs and even to PDAs. I use Outlook at work but I find the CardScan software to be more powerful for contact management.

The scanner works well most of the time. With the Auto Scan feature you can set your cards down and, if all goes right, come back later to verify the information. Cards are rapidly read and the images stored until you verify the accurate placement of the card information into the software fields.

This leads me to one of the major problems with the CardScan. Understandably it's difficult to account for all business card formats, with the contact info. being placed in all possible ways. Corex has not fully figured out how to ensure placement of the card info. into the software fields. Only about 50% of the time was most of the info. properly placed. Otherwise you'll have to go through and cut and paste into the correct fields.

The CardScan does not always cleanly scan the business cards. The software is designed to allow you to compare the scanned image of the card to the fields to which the info. was assigned. Good idea but doesn't work so well. To verify that the card was read properly, you'll have to keep your scanned cards with you. Of course, once it's verified you can put the cards away for good.

Two great features of the CardScan: (1) it allows you to scan the back of the business card and (2) you can make your own entries for those cards that are too difficult to read.

Amazing tool.......2000-12-19

Worth every penny, see that ugly stack of cards by your keyboard you have been meaning to get rid of for a month. Alittle time and they are gone! As it states, I recommend checking manually each card before accepting. A great tool, only minor complaint is interns generally use the old pc and making sure they have the usb connection is necessary.

This camera is really good.......2003-08-09

This camera is really good Everything about the camera is wonderful. The image quality is great, easy to use, the optical zoom works great, This camera is the best! I love it

Great Camera.......2003-06-16

This is a great camera for what I paid for it. The only down side is that it use up batteries very quickly, but I overcame this by buying recharable batteries. It takes excelent pictures, but it has a delyed recation from when you press the shutter button to when it takes the picture.

good little camera for £150.00.......2003-03-22

the only niggle is the slow shutter speed which means timing your photo a lttle in advance of when you want to take it, the quility of the pictures are really very good, for the money I paid £150.00 its a good entry leval camera, Ive had no problems with it other than its hunger for batteries saying that i get 60 pictures + on a freash set if I rest the camera between shots and switch the lcd off. Not the best camera in the world but brilliant for the price.

it went back to the store.......2002-10-24

I was dazzled by the quality of the still images produced by this camera. But it had problems I could not work through. I deemed it defective and returned it promptly. First; the camera would freeze intermittently during recording. Similar to a computer freeze. I had to remove the batteries to 're-boot' the camera. Not good! Second; the shutter response was slow and unpredictable, so actually taking pictures was not simple. The camera would take the image when it was good and ready to go, so the spontaniety went out of photography. Not good! Third; despite literature suggesting otherwise, the camera did not record sound and motion simultaneously. Movies were silent. Fourth; I found the toggle switch overly fussy and programming simple things like time and date took multiple tries. Fifth; when played back on my computer (and through 3 different media players) obnoxious advertisements were superimposed top and bottom on the movie images .... No instructions were given for removing this unwanted advertisement.
I really wanted this camera to work. The images really were beautiful. I think Samsung products are great, but this camera was a bad match with my needs.

GREAT CAMERA!!.......2002-10-14

I am very satisfied with this camera. It's very attractive, and takes excellent pictures. The detail is excellent. I have been nothing but satisfied. It comes with an 8MB card, usb cable, and video cable to hook up to the TV, and batteries. The only thig bad about it is that it takes a bit to get ready and take the picture and it eats up the batteries. For the top quality photo's though it's worth it 100%.
