Ambir nScan 690gt-BCS High-Speed Vertical Card Scanner with AmbirScan Business Card for Windows PC One Time Purchase No Subscription Needed

Easy install. Downloaded and installed latest software and driver first before connecting scanner. Software can be minimized and set for auto-scan and the folder to save to, so as soon as an ID card is placed in the top of the scanner, it will scan in just a few seconds and pop up a scanned image with the option to tag it and then save it in the defined folder. This scanner takes up very little desk space, which is a premium in the health care office it was installed at. I highly recommend the 690GT scanner for quick ID card scanning.

PIece of crap (hardware AND software). I've bought three of these due to the lack of options on the market. The first two just stopped working for various reason after about a year and now the third one, on top of not working any longer (we do regular maintenance and replacement of the roller and seperation pad), this piece of garbage is insisting we provide our "license number" as if I kept the paperwork around all this time. Save yourself the time and money and just get something else. Or, if you do order this, at least get the replacement plan so you can get a second one when it dies at the year mark.

The scanner itself works great, and it is fast. The quality of the scanned cards is good enough for the purpose. The "import to Outlook software" is slightly disappointing and would probably work if it had some A.I. to help. Depending on the layout of the business card, the name, address, etc, may not be populated into the corresponding field in your Outlook contacts, and you need to manually edit or re-enter the information. It also only recognises USA phone numbers, so any international phone number is considered non-valid, and you have to manually enter phone numbers into your contacts after the scanning process. Overall, it helped me scan most of my business cards into my Outlook contacts, but re-editing and re-entering some fields with every scan was time-consuming. Hopefully, an A.I. software update can resolve that.

This works great! The software scans and accurately reads most cards. I used this to organize the chaos after tradeshows.

Great ID scanner - we use for scanning ID's at front desk for check-in at campground, very fast, no jams, good picture quality. Only suggestion would be to develop a better USB power insertion cable, the T-splitter should have a short cable instead of rigid connection (solved using 3ft USB extension cable). Otherwise great!

Ok they tout the speed and i needed high speed to photo 12,000 cards. It would suck the card thru and scan fast, but the file takes soooooo long to save with their crap software. Also they make it hard to buy the premium software, which is just as slow. so i sent it back and scanned using my printer and Adobe which was not as fast to scan but saved quick. I suppose this works fine for dr office scanning an insurance card or two, but the 2 second scan claim is ruined by the slow save time. Oh it'll scan multiple cards into one file, but it literally crashes or is really really really slow to save. dont blame my pc, i have 128gb ram, i7, fast.

I LOVE THIS PURCHASE. I contacted the company and was walked thru the setup process with care, patience, and knowledge. I use this device to scan ID's, Insurance Cards, Credit Cards & etc. The need to capture and crop both sides are GONE!! Just place cards into scanner and both sides are scanned directly into my program. Looks and works 100% as advertised!

Ambir nScan 690gt reader with AmberScan software: Unpredictable results are the norm with this device and software. Windows 11 is certainly a big cause of the connectivity issues with the hardware, but bad development of the AmbirScan software is the real culprit. The current user guide for the software was last updated in 2019. There are big gaps in the document that left me totally clueless when trying to tie the functionality I saw on the screen to the ancient guide. Oh, I need to mention that it is my experience that there is zero support-knowledge of the advertised enhancement of using Microsoft Outlook as an easy and reliable card to contact tool. Getting a tech to answer questions about that can-of-worms is impossible and there is very little content in the documentation. Having experienced the touchy software and the lack of any guidance from Ambir's Tech Support, I feel that this purchase was a bad investment. Pass!

Good delivery
