Cardiris

Business Card scanning and indexing software


I.R.I.S. is pleased to announce the closing stage development of the Cardiris software package, which is designed to scan and index any type of business card. It can be used with hand-held, sheetfed, flatbed or dedicated scanners.

Cardiris is designed to improve the day-to-day life of business people, whose desks are usually crowded with business cards. Business cards can be placed in a Rolodex. However this only gives limited capability, the card information cannot be shared, transferred or transported easily (think of a business trip).

Cardiris is designed to complement nicely the I.R.I.S. DataPen product. It archives business cards in a few seconds with the capability to insert specific notes concerning the contact. It is therefore an ideal tool to be used during exhibitions, where a systematic procedure needs to be applied for all cards and no time can be spent on editing and correcting the data. Thanks to an advanced compression and display technique, the image on the screen has a quality comparable to the original business card, which means that the original card can be discarded. Cardiris can then be used as an electronic Rolodex. However, already at this simple level of utilization, the information can now be exported, transmitted on a network or transported on a notebook computer. If the information on the card is readable, the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process will automatically recognize the text on the card and will also identify the different fields (company name, first name, last name, city, zip code, phone, fax, etc...). Accuracy of course depends on the printing quality and exoticism of the card layout. Advanced editing and correction facilities increase the productivity.

Cardiris contains a contact database. The user can also insert his own notes for each business card. The information can be easily exported to popular contact management software and databases.


The main features of Cardiris are:
