Scanner, and so much more
A business card reader employs advanced OCR (Optical Character Reader) technology to identify the information on the business card in order to accurately file the text under the relevant heads. It is, thus, a very effective tool for storing and managing one's contact information. A business card reader proves its usefulness even in this day and age when almost every second person owns a smart phone to manage his or her list of contacts. One does not need to look far for the reason; a person's full contact details, as given on such a visiting token, would take much too long to recite and store on a personal digital assistant, even the likes of which are out today. It is still considered courteous to introduce oneself by means of exchanging business cards.
