Batch Process

Whether you have stacks of business cards from a recent trade show, or you need to scan the cards you’ve accumulated over weeks, use the CardScan version 8 “Batch Process” feature to scan them fast – and add the information you need to manage them before you process.



Assign categories – and add any new ones you need - before you process your cards.

Then you can assign categories to all contacts you capture, in one step.
