Rating : - Good Enough
I have found this product to be very easy to use and the results are sufficent for the cost of the item. The first one I purchased did not work. I called the tech support number and got through right away. I described the problem and they said to return it to where I had bought it. The return process with Amazon was extremely easy and they sent me a replacement before I could even get the faulty one back to them. The replacement worked great and I have scanned in a lot of cards that were just floating around my desk. All the cards I had been "planning" on entering by hand into Outlook. All done in less than an hour. I like this device.
