Does anybody have a software for WM6 which scans business cards via the camera into the contacts?

There was a freebie that came with my TyTn II. Forget the name because it was a crippled demo version that wouldn't import to Contacts. But on the 4 tests I did it scanned the cards nicely and caught about 95% of the details correctly.

WorldCard Mobile Business Card Scanner? Any chance you can find it at home?

Yeah, might have to wait until the weekend though. Can you wait that long ?

That's all I could find.
Thanks, tried the last one (the others didn't look good at all) and the recognition is very bad which makes it basically unusable

Diana has a business card scanner as well but I just thought it would be nice to scan them without having to plug the scanner in, etc. And you dont' have to carry anything around

so how would you scan without a scanner? hold them in front of your monitor? [smilie=stupido.gif]
