Neatco What you need to know
A portable scanner creates digital records from the business cards that it scans using optical character recognition technology. Optical character recognition technology is a data identification and processing technology that enables the scanner to extract images and text from a business card and sort this information into the proper fields in your contacts template. You simply feed the card into the portable scanner, which reads and stores the information into your laptop computer with your other digital contacts via USB cable. There is no need for an external power source or additional software. Scanning new contacts into your laptop with a portable scanner is so much easier when you are on a sales trip or attending a trade show.
