1.1 Outline

CardMinder software manages card information using an OCR (Optical Character Recogni-

tion) engine.

CardMinder efficiently digitalizes a number of cards at once, helps to search the collected card

data swiftly, and creates a database of the clients' information effectively.

An OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine can be used, and recognized data can be

shared with a PIM (Personal Information Manager).

Also provided are, CardMinder Viewer, which enables cards to be quickly searched from other

applications, and CardMinder Mobile Viewer, which enables scanned card data to be viewed

on other computers not installed with CardMinder.
