ABBYY Business Card Reader Pro Reviews

Oversold on capabilities

The application has groups and does not sync with categories in outlook. Imports last, first. I use first last. No batch sync. No desktop version.

Saves many steps!

More accurate OCR than you would expect and very handy interface. No regrets after several years of using this tool.

My expectation of a product like this at its cost is that it would save me time and add real efficiencies. It doesn’t. In most cases, all it does is replace the time spent entering data from a card with time spent correcting the mistakes the app makes when scanning the card in. When contacted about this, they replied that the cards in question don’t meet some amorphous standard of quality. Whatever. It isn’t about quality of the cards, whatever that means. It is about the fact that many cards have different formats and this product, despite its promises and price tag, is not able to adequately address those variations. In other words, it doesn’t do what it says it does. When I sought a refund, I was denied. Don’t buy this. Use an inexpensive or free version or do it the old school way. This product has negative ROI
