I've found, as useful as this feature is, it can be temperamental. Make sure the room is well lit. If you are scanning cards with sleeves, maybe keep flash off. Make sure the name box's border is just out out of the shot. These are the things that helped me. ðŸ'

Room is well lit I don't use card condoms I think I need to get a level spot to set my phone in place and it may work better

I've found that laying them flat makes the iPod go into vertical mode.

That happens once in a while. It just keeps trying to refocus because I'm not so sure handed. I think that's the problem

When I did the scanning, I would sit comfortably, hold my arms a set distance awayand scan. It's basically a matter of practice.

Blah, I'm lazy I wish I could just hit the video record, scroll over the cards and it would just log them in. Humm think I'll have to post that in the suggestion box.

Jkjk I'm pretty sure that would be impossible

I'm not computer savvy so to me it's impossible but a good job for someone else

Make sure you dont use flash on your {Black Lotus} or it'll go down by half a BGS point and you'll lose a thousand dollars.
