You can store digitally scanned contacts to your iOS phonebook, but you can’t export them to your email account or other social networks.

You’ll get all the contact’s information from the card, as well as from their LinkedIn account if they have one. Just snap a legible photo of the card then sit back and wait for one of CardMunch’s team members to transcribe it and return it in digital form (the process typically takes less than 10 minutes, I’ve found).

For example, CamCard often gets the company name and the person’s title mixed up, because many business cards put the title (not the company) after the person’s name. Contacts are automatically saved to your CamCard digital card file, but you can choose to save them to other accounts, such as email, Facebook, or your phone contact list.ĬamCard’s OCR works fairly well: It’s good at reading text, but it’s not great at deciphering which text should populate which field in a digital contact file, especially when it’s trying to read a creative layout. Just snap a photo of a card, and the app orients it, reads the text, and transcribes it to your contact list.
