So, what are portable scanners and why would you need one?

We’ve all had scanners around for years, from those clunky desktop models for personal use on up to the large industrial types with ADF (Automatic Document Feeders) that scan all measure of stuff. However, when we’ve been on the go, we’ve had to get really creative if we wanted to capture a paper image while in a hotel, airport or bus station. Its just never been very feasible to drag our scanners with us. Enter Scan2Contacts and their new business card scanner.

Scan2Contacts is the new business card scanner from ScanshellStore offering the perfect scanning solution for businesses looking for software which is fully integrated with Microsoft Outlook. Scan2Contacts eliminates the middle step between scanning and recognition in Outlook with its ScanShell 800N which scans, provides OCR (Optical Character recognition) and creates a contact record. It will scan both text and image without the need to install any kind of 3rd party software and it’s fast. It is also Vista compatible. It only takes a few seconds per scan and is small, doesn’t require external power and very portable. You can hold it in your hand.

While scanner resolution and technology have increased in both quality and speed, we’ve always been limited in portability. Portability has always equated to high-price when it came to scanners and those that were cost-effective often lacked in quality sometimes coming in at less than bad fax quality. The need for an inexpensive, quality portable scanner has been long overdue in the industry and the Scan2Contacts business card scanner seems to fit the bill and then some. It’s much more than a business card scanner.

Some things that it is good for besides business card scanning include: check scanning, passport scanning, medical card and ID card scanningas well as electronic signature solutions.

I have been an audiophile for a long time, but surprisingly, I never had really good sound that I could count on until I got my first Acoustic Research wireless speaker. Before the Acoustic Research speaker, I was using inferior equipment. Although I did not go straight from my first, big, clunky second hand bass speakers with broken cones to the Acoustic Research speaker, the difference was almost as pronounced. Nonetheless, the Acoustic Research speaker was just the last step in a string of slowly improving audio equipment that I had been acquiring since I was very young.

It started when I was a teenager growing up in the 70s. This was a long time before there was such a thing as Acoustic Research speakers, or many of the other bands that are popular today. What I had was a pair of second hand speakers which I had inherited from a friend, when he bought his new stereo. He seemed to not think that they were good enough for his use anymore, but for me they were amazing. They had all of the bass that a teenager wants, and a mellow tubey sound that I still find tasteful. Unfortunately, they had many weaknesses including a torn speaker cone that buzzed, and very low treble fidelity. But still, I did really like them, and they did a good job for me all the way through college.

Before I ever saw an Acoustic Research speaker, I tried many other brands. I thought Bose were pretty good, and for a long time they were my favorite. Even now, when I am listening to music quietly to avoid disturbing my girlfriend, I turn off the Acoustic Research speaker and plug in my Bose headphones. But still, nowadays my whole house is wired with Acoustic Research speakers which pipe music to any corner that I want, any time.

You can even use an Acoustic Research speaker to hear sound outside, as I have done. I have a wireless Acoustic Research speaker which plays music to the patio whenever I am entertaining. It saves me the trouble of having to bring out a boom box, and the sound quality is simply sensational. All of my guests have complemented the good fidelity that an Acoustic Research speaker provides, and many of them have gone on to buy them themselves. I say that they have good taste in sound.
