95% of people buy the single-user CardScan products - either 'CardScan Personal' or 'Executive' and seriously there isn't a lot of difference between the two models. Some would argue that the CardScan Executive has a faster scanner and because it scans in colour, it is the better choice. The reality is that the CardScan Personal model uses exactly the same OCR technology and Software as the Executive, and many argue that it doesn't really matter that the Executive saves a colour image of a business card rather than the black-and-white image you get with the CardScan Personal? Isn't it the data on the business card that you want to get into electronic format? Does the colour scheme of the business card really matter?

Why choose the Personal model?

• you save money up front. The Personal model is more than 20% lower in price than the Executive
• the Personal is a smaller scanner meaning a smaller footprint on your desk (and in your bag)
• the Personal is better suited to travel and comes with a travel pouch
• same software as CardScan Executive
• syncs with Microsoft Outlook
• simple Wizard for exporting data for apps such as Word, Excel, Lotus Notes, ACT!, Goldmine etc
