1.1 Outline
CardMinder is an application for scanning business cards.
This application digitalizes large amounts of business cards into images at a high speed and
recognizes text on those cards, thus allowing you to search for your clients' business cards
from those data quickly, and create your client databases conveniently.
CardMinder uses an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine to recognize text on cards
and shares the data created with Personal Information Manager (PIM) applications.
CardMinder contains two separate functions: CardMinder Viewer to enable business card
data to be quickly searched from other applications, and CardMinder Mobile Viewer to
enable scanned business card data to be viewed on other computers not installed with
CardMinder.
