Most scanners can read a card name. The hard part is knowing exactly which printing you're holding, because the set symbol and collector number can be the difference between a four-cent common and a card worth real money. We built Scanoon to get that part right.

Two copies of the same card can be worth a few cents or a few hundred dollars, and the only thing separating them is the set symbol, the collector number, and the finish. That's the information most scanners skim past.
Scanoon reads it straight off the card, and when something isn't clear enough to call with confidence, it sets the card aside for you instead of logging a guess you'll have to find and fix later.
Most of what slows down a bulk session has nothing to do with how fast you can take a photo. It goes to cleaning up the scans that came back wrong: spotting the error, finding the card again in the pile, typing in what it should have said.
When the scans are right the first time, none of that happens, and you get through a longbox about as fast as you can set one card down and reach for the next.
There isn't much to it. Open the app, prop up any phone as the camera, and start working through the pile. No mount, no dedicated scanner, no account to make. When you reach the bottom of the box, Scanoon hands you a CSV that loads straight into your listings.
So Scanoon is built around the part everyone else treats as good enough. When it's sure, it tells you. When it isn't, it says so.
Scanoon is free. Download it, run a box through it, and judge the accuracy yourself.
