Nothing but problems with this card reader
2006-06-24I would NOT recommend this item. I had problem after problem with it and, in the end, it was not useful at all. While the tech support email service was notably quick in responding, their fixes could not salvage this effectively useless product.
1) As noted by another reviewer, the driver is not digitally signed for xp. Tech support said they didn't want to pay for it and that it worked fine in their tests, but if other companies are getting their products approved, I am inclined to switch to them.
2) The recognition part of the software was unable to properly read in a card. The scans were reasonably clean, but the ORC would come up with at most the person's name and maybe part of their title, but other categories (company, email) would be random characters and the remaining categories would not be filled.
3) Unhelpful tech support. Tech support emails were responded to quickly, but the advice was not particularly helpful and was unable to solve the problems I was having.

Iris Card scanner
2006-03-12The scanner works great, it works well for processing a single card and multiple cards. easy to use and good quality business card scans. A great value for the price.

Timesaver and simple
2006-02-25This little device actually does what it claims to do! Quick and easy install, and if you are technically savy you really don't need the directions for running it. Worth the price and effort.

see ya later cards
2005-10-22This card reader is what I expected. It gets the job done. The quality of the image is a little grainy, but overall I am pleased with the product. I can carry all the business cards I want with me on a laptop. I can categorized them into separate databases with filenames that are meaningful to me and access them quickly, and move the database files to another computer and access them after installing the card reader software. As long as I back up the database files, I'll always have access to them. Even if I have to replace my hard drive and reinstall my operating system.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
