Review: Great value and great ID scanner... - We bought this to replace a recently purchase piece of junk ID scanner. This one is easy to install and works exactly as needed. We have had it for over three months now and it still works well. We are using it in our medical office and scanning 20-30 IDs per day with no issues. So far this is the best ID scanner that we have had and hope it will be the last one purchased for a long time. I cannot give a rating for tech support because we haven't needed to contact them for any reason.
Review: Double sided scanner - This scanner is great! We use them for our front office staff to scan in insurance cards and IDs, does both sides at once. Got this LIKE NEW product for 1/3 of the cost of a new one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is that a hardware button on the right (the oval) used for starting a scan, or do all scans have to start from the software?**
A: The " up front" staff reply with --"we use the mouse and screen to start the scan into the EHR" ;If software that you're using doesn't override it, then pushing that button might start the scan but I'm not sure..

**Q: Can this be used to scan business cards?**
A: Yes, but I don’t believe it has text recognition to add as a contact.  It can also scan laminated or plastic cards.   We have been using this brand for at least 5 years and have been very happy.

**Q: Does it come with it's own software?**
A: No but you can use the built-in scan software on your PC.  Windows 7 /Windows 10.

**Q: Is it OCR capable, that is, can it read and extract the data from an insurance card or driver license ?**
A: Yes it will scan both.
