The version provided is CardIris4LE (limited Edition) but it could save lots of frustration for anyone who is not a perfect typist. While this review is about ReadIris in the package is a very nice product called CardIris that scans your business cards and while it is not foolproof the likehood is that it will be more accurate than you will be transferring information by hand. This does a very good job and unless you are sure you know better then let it do its thing you can always compare by doing it yourself just to see which gives the better results but with standard scanning it is unlikely that you will outperform it. However in all my tests the OCR action was just a matter of seconds as against far longer periods with the various cut down versions.Īs with almost all products nowadays there is a ‘Wizard’ that can be accessed from the front menu or even be set to open on startup. Of course should you find a character that does give problems you can teach it. I could not find a single error even with less common items such as ½ © ® and the € symbol to give just some examples that often fool the cut down products. In total I gave it around twenty different documents some scanned and some were already saved documents.

One of my more interesting tests is with a page laid out with graphics beside the text and this worked well even in the RTF format where of course you just got the text paragraphs.

You even keep paragraphs if you choose to OCR to an application in RTF format such as WordPad.

Best of all the formatting and layout remained, often with the cut down OCR software provided with scanners or All In One units you just end up with a long string of sentences.

Press the OCR button at the top left of the window and after checking a few facts with you it is OCR’d and my one page document became editable text in just a few seconds. To make like harder I had scanned the page upside down and while it was read in this way almost before you could focus it had turned it the correct way and outlined all the paragraphs.
