Worked well for doing some basic inventory, and I could easily email myself an Excel for further processing, but it's lacking support for products sold by weight/price, so I'll have to look elsewhere for an app that supports that.

My wife and I have been trying to use Orca Scan to catalog our collection. After scanning over 70 books and having NOT ONE populate with the author information and having the company's rep say these books are just not in the database, it's clear their products with worth way less than the $40 per month they charge. Would 0 stars if possible. Strongly recommend against this service.
