IT'S WHO YOU KNOW

If you are looking for a tool to ease the tedium of getting information from business cards into your computer, the newest version of CardScan from Corex Technologies (617 492-4200) may be the answer. The $99 Windows program, $299 with a card scanner that plugs into your printer port, features character-recognition technology that is much improved over previous versions. It still requires some manual correction of scanning errors, especially on cards that have complicated designs. But I found scanning much faster than manual entry. The data collected by CardScan can be transferred to most popular software programs for managing contacts.
