Looking for punch card reader that can export data to excel

[Vokofe]

Good day,

I am asking on behalf of my company.

We are using the old punch card method.
The Machine is the normal analog clock punch card reader from BDE Technology.
The punch cards can be bought from Popular.

Every month before payday, the admin has to scan individual punch card and enter the time, MC, OT etc, manually.
We are trying to find a way to make the process easier and faster.

Currently we are searching for similar device but has the capability to export the data.

We reached out to BDE and they do not supply such a device.

We DO NOT want to switch to biometric scanning or individual employee ID card method.

Can anybody recommend such device:
1) Still uses Punch Card
2) Analog/Digital clock (either is fine)
3) [MOST Importantly] has USB port or an app that lets you export/download clock-in/out data as .csv/excel

Thank you

Since it's for a company, better to go through the whole PO / DO / Invoice rubbish and not online shopping.

Maybe can try this 2 or reach out to them to see if they can meet your requirements

You need an OCR scanner that come bundle with OCR software that convert from scan copy to text.
After scanning, there will be many text files in a folder and have an Excel macro to read the data from the text files and tabulate in a spreadsheet. Get one with auto document feeder e.g. Ricoh ScanSnap iX2500. Do shop around and find one that fits your needs. Avoid hand written on the punch card. You need a label printer for employee info on the punch card.

BTW, chatGPT or google AI can help you out on the Excel macro programming. Believe you me, AI is that good now.
