I.R.I.S. Business Card Reader ( Windows/Macintosh )

Summary: more work needed
Review: My fisrt impression was wow, what a great product, until I used it....
I have the Windows version and found the following problems:
1.) Does not export to ACT, even though the product claims it will.
2.) Does not allow you to import from one database you created into another.
3.) Does not support contacts/addressbooks stored on a shared/network drive. If you have an Exchange or Domino server you will need to create a local file to store your contacts.
4.) Could not get synchronization to work with two pocket PCs, and one Palm OS device.
5.) character recognition accuracy is really poor for cards that have a dark background or pictures.

The only plus is the hardware's small footprint. It is also a twain based color scanner which you can use to scan in old pictures.
