Ambir nScan 690gt-BCS High-Speed Vertical Card Scanner with AmbirScan Business Card for Windows PC

Easy install. Downloaded and installed latest software and driver first before connecting scanner. Software can be minimized and set for auto-scan and the folder to save to, so as soon as an ID card is placed in the top of the scanner, it will scan in just a few seconds and pop up a scanned image with the option to tag it and then save it in the defined folder. This scanner takes up very little desk space, which is a premium in the health care office it was installed at. I highly recommend the 690GT scanner for quick ID card scanning.

Ok they tout the speed and i needed high speed to photo 12,000 cards. It would suck the card thru and scan fast, but the file takes soooooo long to save with their crap software. Also they make it hard to buy the premium software, which is just as slow. so i sent it back and scanned using my printer and Adobe which was not as fast to scan but saved quick.I suppose this works fine for dr office scanning an insurance card or two, but the 2 second scan claim is ruined by the slow save time.Oh it'll scan multiple cards into one file, but it literally crashes or is really really really slow to save.dont blame my pc, i have 128gb ram, i7, fast.

I LOVE THIS PURCHASE. I contacted the company and was walked thru the setup process with care, patience, and knowledge. I use this device to scan ID's, Insurance Cards, Credit Cards & etc. The need to capture and crop both sides are GONE!! Just place cards into scanner and both sides are scanned directly into my program. Looks and works 100% as advertised!

The scanner itself works great, and it is fast. The quality of the scanned cards is good enough for the purpose. The "import to Outlook software" is slightly disappointing and would probably work if it had some A.I. to help. Depending on the layout of the business card, the name, address, etc, may not be populated into the corresponding field in your Outlook contacts, and you need to manually edit or re-enter the information. It also only recognises USA phone numbers, so any international phone number is considered non-valid, and you have to manually enter phone numbers into your contacts after the scanning process. Overall, it helped me scan most of my business cards into my Outlook contacts, but re-editing and re-entering some fields with every scan was time-consuming. Hopefully, an A.I. software update can resolve that.

Beware! You need to purchase the license separately, an additional $50.00! You only get 10 scans before it stops working.

Great ID scanner - we use for scanning ID's at front desk for check-in at campground, very fast, no jams, good picture quality. Only suggestion would be to develop a better USB power insertion cable, the T-splitter should have a short cable instead of rigid connection (solved using 3ft USB extension cable). Otherwise great!

The software is absolutely atrocious- Thinks every time you're scanning multiple pages. No way to quickly scan MULTIPLE BUSINESS CARDS, each as its own file- OCR is terrible- Interface is terrible- Speed is actually quite slow

Software is a bit clunky and not super easy to use but the scanner works well.I’d likely look at other options if I was to do it again.
