What is the best handheld scanner for scanning business cards?
While I must admit that I’ve never used a handheld scanner for business cards, I did do a little digging.
Here are my findings:
1. Handheld business card scanners are not easy to find.
2. Two ladies, Mary J. Zipf (Tempe, AZ, US) and Karen E. Jachimowicz, (Laveen, AZ, US) filed this patent Business card scanner and method of use – Patent 5604640. While it seems promising, it was filed in 1995 and I haven’t heard anything related about it.
3. Some business card scanners will sync directly to a Palm Pilot. As with #2, digging for more information on these types of scanners has proved futile and I wasn’t able to actually find any scanners that connect to a smart phone or PDA.
Good luck on your quest, hopefully it is more productive than I was.
