HotCard bizcard finder from Hotcard Technology is a compact business-card scanner. It connects through USB and doesn't need an external power source. It also helps in organizing and managing business cards in a very convenient way. It allows you to scan, recognize, search, browse, print and e-mail the electronic name-card images and contact DBs. It also supports OCR. There is a facility of synchronizing your DB with your Outlook/Outlook Express address book, Palm, WinCE PDA and Motorola PDA phones. Further, you can import/export DB from/to DBase III, CSV and vCard files. On the results front, it took around 4 secs to scan a standard business card. We also scanned cards with different colors, textures and designs and it managed to scan and recognize the text properly. The interface is very simple and appealing. It accepts text in two languages-English and Chinese. While printing you have the option to print as an image, name card, table or labels. You can merge your appointment calendar with the business card DB, which is useful as it offers reminder alarms. It is compatible with Win 98/Me/2000/XP and system requirements are also minimal. 

The bottom line:

The features and its portable size makes it a good buy for frequent travelers and those who need to maintain a lot of contact information.
