In a couple of the cases I was genuinely surprised how well the software worked. Text that I could barely make out was interpreted perfectly. Conversely, perfectly legible text in standard fonts was not transferred at all.
App Description
Now loading business cards into your iPhone address book is a snap! This is the application you have been waiting for - it is quick, easy, and it really works.
Don't just take our word for it. AppVee says "Cardsnap has my full recommendation."
Just take a picture of a business card with your iPhone and click submit.
The card is processed on the server, generally within 24 hours. Every time you open the application it will check to see if your cards have been processed and load them into the address book.
NOTE: If you do not have the iPhone 3Gs, CardSnap requires the Griffin Clarifi case for greater clarity and quality.
If you just want to try it out, check out the CardSnap Lite application.
CardSnap is not just an OCR application, it is a business card transcription service. We use a combination of automated processing and manual review to ensure all legible fields are captured and properly mapped to a contact record on your iPhone.
We are currently only capable of mapping characters from the English keyboad.
Read the user guide on the info tab or located on our website to learn how to take more legible pictures with the iPhone camera.
This version of CardSnap provides unlimited cards with no signup, activation, or additional charges.
