FAQ
Will there be a charge for processing in business cards from Eight?
Our data input staff will change the images into data, so this will use some of your digitization limit in the same way as scanning in from the Sansan scanner. Depending on the contract you have, if you exceed the limit for digitization, an extra charge may result, so please use this after checking how many more cards you can have digitized.
How long will it take for the images to be changed into data?
Depending on the number of cards you and other users are processing in, please understand that it may take some time to change all of the images into data.
Are cards previously acquired from Eight included?
No, they are not. There is no duplicate importing.
