From the developer: "RightCardReader scans digital business cards created with any RightCardWare family program. Yes, inexpensive business cards on paper stock! With bar code accuracy, RightCardReader transfers contact information, digitally encoded on business cards, to and from Personal Information Manager software (PIMs), such as Microsoft Outlook and Corex CardScan.

"RightCardReader also exports to vCards or PIMs that read and write vCards. RightCardReader works with TWAIN, Corex, and Symbol scanners. The digital encoding that RightCardReader scans appears on business cards of people who want to delight their clients, colleagues, and friends - by saving them time. And digital business cards do save time! Why type it when you can scan it?

"The digital business card that RightCardReader scans can be printed from your desktop using RightCardSampler (encoding capacity: approximately 100 bytes). Or the digital business card can be printed using the full features of RightCardWare (encoding capacity: approximately 1500 bytes, download for $24.99 by clicking the Buy Now button at this top of this page). Or, the digital encoding can be scanned from The Right Business Cards, professionally printed by The Right Stuff of Tahoe and affiliated distributors.

"RightCardReader includes the RightQuickPanel mini-window: at a single click of the mouse, scan cards directly into your PIM! Also at no charge, RightCardReader ships with RightCardSampler, subset of RightCardWare which allows you to digitize your name, email, and organization - up to 100 bytes - onto the back of your business card."

Note:: RightCardReader is a free program in the RightCardWare family. RightCardWare can be purchased by clicking the "Buy" button.
