Best business card scanners according to redditors

Oh good, another single function low use device I have to charge. But on a serious note, how could this have run out of money? Not only does it already exist in a variety of different forms, the software has been made by dozens of companies (for many years) and is available on a device that serves more than one purpose. I'm curious as to what the hangup is, and I'm guessing it has to do with a large number of not-quite-necessary purchases.

I have a similar handheld scanner, and while it does work pretty well, it requires a lot of practice to get a good scan. I've scanned things thinking I did a great job of keeping it straight and going the right speed, only to get back to my computer and find that someone's face is stretched out because I messed up ever-so-slightly.

Overall I like the scanner, but a photo of the item in question, taken with a good camera in decent lighting will be just as good. I'd recommend getting a good digital camera and portable tripod instead.

I have this Vupoint Magic Wand.
It uses MicroUSB and also has a MicroSD card. It's pretty good. $70.

If she doesn't give credit because there isn't any scanner warping I could always show her my magic wand. Absolutely SFW.

My favorite thing about the whole anti-plagiarism thing is a good portion of the teachers just steal their assignments off the internet nowadays. It's so easy just to google the question and get easy to copy (and adjust, so I don't get busted by the scanners) answers.

How do you determine if an amazon rank is good based on sub-categories? For example:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YC2WO2

Seller rank of #5 in Electronics > Computers & Accessories > Scanners > Business Card Scanners.

Shouldn't this thing fly off my inventory in a few days once I list it? I know the sales rank chart that gets sent around is helpful showing the top 1, 5, and 10%, but that only shows main categories. How do you determine if something is good in sub-categories?

This has a little extra height, but would work.

If you want something more portable: http://www.amazon.com/VuPoint-Solutions-Portable-Scanner-PDS-ST410-VP/dp/B002R0BFAA

Of course the scanner mouse has its pro's over this but this adds one less step to scanning something quickly.

Not quite a pen, but you should be able to use a portable scanner like this.
It will save text as an image, and then there are any number of free downloadable OCR programs you can use to convert the image to text that you can put into a word document

Yeah, I have this one myself. I use it in conjunction with my laptop to save space. It's great.

While I agree on the Scansnap for the office, it might also be handy to throw one of these: http://amzn.com/B002R0BFAA (VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner) - in your briefcase. In our office, its very handy for scanning smaller blurbs (like property descriptions).

I've always just used my common sense. First I look at the item itself. Is it a popular item? Is it something people would need, or is it a luxury? etc. Once I figure that out I try and work my way up the categories. I say "ok so it's a popular scanner, but how often do these sell in comparison to other items you may find in computers & accessories".

It's crude, but it's my way of guesstimating a rough idea of the rank.

You could also try and check CCC. The whole not displaying main rank thing is fairy new, so they may have previous sales history to give you an idea. It may be over a year old, but it should still give you some idea.

In your case it shows up until Feb 2015. Not so recent, but definitely give you an idea.

EDIT: You can also click on the category above it to see if it's in the top 100 of that category, etc. In your case, it is ranked 69 in "scanners" which isn't too bad.

Also, the amount of sellers as well as whether Amazon carries it is a good indicator. There usually wouldn't be 50+ sellers if it wasn't a decent item.

Ich bin bis jetzt auf diese beiden hier gestoßen, beide mit eher durchschnittlichen Bewertungen :/
