Portable scanner, a review of the topic
A portable scanner creates digital records from the business cards that it scans using optical character recognition technology. Optical character recognition technology enables the portable scanner to extract images and text from a business card and sort the information into the appropriate template in your contacts database. All you have to do is feed the card into your portable scanner, and the scanner reads and stores the card information on your laptop through a connected USB cable. This is all accomplished without need of an external power source or additional software. Whether on a sales trip or attending a trade show, scanning new contacts into your laptop is so much easier with a portable scanner.
