IBCR II Business Card Scanner

If you got a pile of business cards spilling out of your antediluvian Rolodex, it's high time you went through them all an put them into an easy-access digital archive. Fortunately, you don't have to hire two girl-Fridays and three boy-Mondays to do it, thanks to the "Iris Business Card Reader II."

This 600dpi mini scanner will image any regular business card and extract the text, images and logo's thereon (geek speak: OCR for Optical Character Recognition) and then do a surprisingly excellent job of sorting all that info and plopping it into an address book type database.

Sold sepaprately for PC or Mac, the device comes with software that will also export the digitized cards into your contact manager of choice, be it Outlook, Act!, Palm, Lotus Notes, Goldmine, etc. Of course, depending on the size of you pile and the skimpiness of your budget, you still might consider paying a staff of minimum-wagers to sift through the stacks for you...
