Create your own Application for CardScan Scanners

The CardScan SDK is CardScan’s software developer's kit for application developers. The kit consists of documentation, sample programs and dynamic-link libraries for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It offers access to the same advanced technology to read business cards that CardScan provides to end-users. It also enables 3rd-party applications to read and manipulate CardScan files.

Using the SDK you can control the CardScan scanner, acquire card images, process them one at a time or in batch, and retrieve the results sorted into fields like Name, Title, Company, Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

There are many potential applications for the CardScan SDK but they generally fall into three broad categories:
  • Scan business cards directly into kiosks, trade-show registration systems, lead capture programs and other similar data gathering or surveying applications.
  • Scan business cards directly into sales automation or contact manager applications.
  • Scan other business card size documents to capture images of bar codes or other information.
Note: The CardScan SDK cannot be used to develop applications that compete with CardScan.

We are offering two versions of the SDK software for application developers.


The “Lite” Version will allow you to develop applications that run in conjunction with CardScan software. All end-users must have individual licenses of CardScan already installed, as this version does not include the CardScan program files.

The Full Version of the SDK includes everything you need to build a stand-alone application. With the stand-alone applications, you will either need to include a CardScan scanner with each copy of your application, or purchase a CardScan software license for each copy of your application.

System requirements

The minimum system configuration required to run an application that uses the CardScan SDK is:
  • An Intel-compatible PC
  • Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
  • 100 MB of free space on a local hard drive.

To develop an application using the CardScan SDK, you must have the following tools:

  • A compiler and linker compatible with libraries and DLLs generated by Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
  • CardScan 9.0 or later
