Pros

  • App quickly open and is ready to take pictures
  • Text recognition (OCR) is fantastic
  • The contact you scanned can be saved to the internal phone contacts

Cons

  • Text recognition is not 100% accurate, you have to go through and check. It may have to do with all these different business card design, small fonts, etc.

Return on Investment

  • Very important time saver
  • If we had lost one card/contact, that could represent a lot of money

Other Software Used

Pros

  • It makes adding contact information from business cards that you pick up from events, prospects, etc., extremely easy to your phone or easily exports your contacts to an Excel file which you can upload to almost all CRMs, Outlook, etc.
  • For the price you can't beat it! A card scanner can be really expensive and not easily accessible.
  • Since I can use CamCard from my phone it is easy to take a quick snapshot from my phone in the car and collect the information I want to save. Having this really makes life easy since I can capture information right after I meet someone.

Cons

  • Sometimes the scanner doesn't recognize every item exactly where it should go, especially if the card is laid out in an atypical manner.
  • I wish there were more options to integrate this tool with tools you are already using... such as a CRM, etc. Although it is easy to export your information to an Excel file and then upload that information to the tools you are currently using, it would be nice to have a more streamlined process that connected the tools you are using to CamCard directly.
  • The degree of inaccuracy in the OCR is often frustrating. Of course the wacky card categories that people create does not help!

Return on Investment

  • Due to CamCard's low cost, I have found it to provide a positive ROI for me. Looking at the cost of business card scanners like ScanDisk provides the cost can be $150+.
  • CamCard has also allowed me to reduce the time of manually inserting contact information from the contacts that I meet, and since time is money, it has saved my organization labor time.
  • Finally, having the ability to use CamCard on my phone, it prevents me from loosing business cards and contact information that I need.

Pros

  • The image capture is great and it captures the back side which some apps do not allow.
  • It allows you to add notes and details and keeps the image of the card so it is easy to connect all the pieces for followup!
  • It offers a nice variety of sort options which is really helpful if you remember the company but not the name of the person!
  • It exports seamlessly into our CRM.

Cons

  • Better recognition of the oddly shaped cards
  • Edit options have greatly improved!
  • Add voice to text!! I would love to just speak numbers, addresses, etc rather than typing.

Return on Investment

  • Camcard has helped me to followup in a timely manner due to prompt access to captured information.
  • Camcard is as useful as I want it to be. It is capable of delivering more than I am currently utilizing.
  • The only negative is that it was identified as one of the hacked sites for data mining. Very disconcerting at the time.

Pros

  • Scans business cards.
  • Stores contact information.
  • Can automatically import some information.

Cons

  • Scans are far from reliable.
  • It seems to just make some obvious spelling mistakes that the AI should be able to figure out.
  • Struggles with complex graphics on business cards.

Return on Investment

  • I use the free version so anything we get out of CamCard is a positive.
  • It's a good basic digital business card tool.
  • It does struggle with getting the data imported correctly.
