Is the OCR software sophisticated enough to translate business cards into a tabular format?

I could never get it to work, and I returned it. The software was the problem. I called the company but they never returned my call or emails, so I got a refund. Good luck. Wild Bill

I don't know what tabular form is, but it might be. It will take the name and address info and enter into a contack information form.I'll run a couple scans tonight and let you know.

I'm sorry, but this is not the scanner I purchased (same brand, different model.) I don't have any experience with the OCR software.

Yes, there are many pre-designed templates for business or personal cards, or you can design your own. Works great.

The unit and software does not have OCR capabilities, as far as I know. You would need separate software to do that. I expect you could find something that would work. I did not have that application in mind. It works great for my application.

Yes, great program but quite old now. I am now using Serif products (PagePlus) which is similar but much more uptodate.

I use it for a purchased copy of Express Scribe... It would most likely work for basic versions as the software probably just has less features if it's a free version.

It is fairly rudimentary, but it does allow you to collect in a database that you can export to a spreadsheet. The more complex the business cards, the more you have to fix the data, but it is much better than typing it all in from scratch. It also retains an image of the card so you can use that during the correction process.

Unfortunately the answer is "no". The program only recognizes scans as pictures and not characters.

It can b, t doable. The software included in th scanner driver contins OCR (Optical Character Recognition).If you scanning a clean document, the OCR will recognize text, so it wll be possble to save it as a text document and later format and convert into Word document.

The software is very user friendly. It scan business cards, greeting cards, credit cards, licenses, etc very nicely (both sides in one pass). I am not sure how it will do on receipts since they are faily narrow. It will most likely work fine, but you will probably have to guide it with your hands during the scan.

I have never used that software. It works great with Rosetta Stone. Sorry I could not be of more help.

The conversion will not be perfect by all means. When attempting to convert the files over to Microsoft Word, it worked fine with some paragraphs being broken. But was very manageable since our word documents were at max 20 pages. We have not tried a spreadsheet yet. If it's that big, i'm sure you'll get some problems, but depending on how large it is, might be tedious to fix. And if you have formulas, the affects of porting it over as well would need to be taken into consideration.

Call ABBY on this one - FR works with word and dff files. No OCR program is perfect but FR does do a great job.

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

Any software you have should have business card template. Make sure it's 10 on a page and not 8. And stay inside the margins it will cut just fine.

Absolutely. I use it to pull in people's Word docs (95-2009) all the time easily. The only issues you'll ever face are if a document has extreme levels of graphs/images/styling/outlining - sometimes those items don't convert perfectly. Most people don't create documents for which that's ever been a problem for me or anyone else in our company, though.

Once you have scanned the cards, you have the option of outputting it in different formats including Spreadsheet.

I completely disagree with the rest of these answers. I'm using an Epson DS-40 scanner (after trying and returning a Doxie) at 1200dpi for doing character recognition on thermal printed receipts. I've noticed a huge difference in the accuracy of the OCR software. No wonder, when it's getting so much more data to work with.
