Wantedly People Screen (Image credit: Wantedly, Inc) CamCard also keeps all of your data securely stored in the cloud, so you can access everything from multiple devices when necessary (no limitations with a Premium account). The app also intelligently keeps track of stored contacts so that when a contact gets promoted or changes jobs, you'll get a notification about it. When you run out of paper cards to hand out, just send them an e-card version through CamCard. If you have your own business card, you can store that inside CamCard as well. And if you have your own secretary, you can even invite them to scan and save contact details on your behalf, which is a truly nice feature. All of the contact information is stored and saved on your smartphone, and you can even add notes and reminders to these contacts to help jog your memory. With CamCard, users are able to scan in business cards either one at a time or in batches.

It’s rare I am impressed with software that costs a very reasonable sum and works perfectly. I can’t believe this isn’t a set-up issue but I didn’t go into it.

I didn’t need this function so it’s not a concern for me but if you need CSV make sure you run the trial version before purchasing the full version. The data seemed to be separated by a semi colon not a comma so it didn’t show accurately in Excel, it was just a mess. I also tried to export to a CSV file but this was less successful. You can also scan the rear of the cards if required but this would need to be done individually rather than in a batch of 10. The process worked perfectly and for good measure the software keeps an image of the business card in the notes area of the contact in Outlook so as you go through and check the entries you don’t have to have the card to hand, VERY USEFUL! Once I had got all the contacts done I set-up a new FOLDER in Outlook contacts and using ABBYY exported my new contacts to this folder. ABBYY then read the resulting file (PDF or image), separated the 10 contacts, and created each contact within the ABBYY software. I then set-up 10 business cards on my flat bed scanner and scanned them in. I purchased this (there is a free trial for up to 30 cards) and installed it. I found a piece of software caller ABBYY Business Card Reader 2.0 for £19.99 (incl. Like most businesses I have a flat bed scanner and thought using this might be the answer. So I then spent some time looking for another solution.

I spent some time trying to fix this but gave up. This scanned quickly and accurately but when I tried to sync with Outlook it didn’t transfer emails, phone numbers or addresses. It also integrates with LinkedIn (they own it) so I was concerned all the contacts would be added to LinkedIn which I didn’t want. This worked well but was a bit of a pain for more than a few cards. I looked at dedicated business card scanners but they were £100 or more and I really only need to do this once so I relegated this to a last resort. I only have Outlook 2010 so I’ve not tested this with other versions. I’ve recently had to get over 300 business cards into Outlook which didn’t prove as easy as I had thought and was a serious learning curve, so I thought I’d share this in case others have to do it. How do I get contact information from a business card into Outlook?
