Introduction
Cardiris is a powerful business card scanning solution and
organizer. This productivity tool allows you to scan, recognize and
archive business cards and turn them into an address database.
Cardiris can process business cards of any type or kind from 218
countries. By means of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) the
data on business cards is extracted automatically from the image,
converted into editable text and inserted in the correct database
fields through field analysis. Cardiris extensively uses a knowledge
database, acquiring the necessary intelligence to distinguish
between first and last names, cities and states, telephone and fax
numbers etc. The field analysis process is also based on the card
layout, as each country has a different style of composing business
cards.
The Cardiris Asian Edition additionally recognizes business cards
from 8 Asian countries and territories: China, Hong Kong, Macau,
Japan, North and South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
Business cards in English from the Asian countries listed above are
supported by the standard version of Cardiris.
