OCR reads every line of text from the card photo, then heuristics extract: the name (first multi-word line that isn't an email/phone/URL), title and company (next non-contact lines), emails (regex pattern), phone numbers (digit-pattern with 7+ digits), and URLs. The fields are wrapped in standards-compliant vCard 3.0 — ready to import into Contacts, Outlook or your CRM.
technicalEvery major contacts app supports vCard 3.0 import: iOS Contacts (open the .vcf in Mail, tap Add to Contacts), Android Contacts (via Files), Outlook (drag the file into a contact folder), Google Contacts (Import in the web UI), Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Apple Calendar (for vCards with birthday).
featuresAll of them are captured. The vCard includes each email as a separate EMAIL line and each phone as a separate TEL line. Most contacts apps display them all and let you label each (work, mobile, etc.) after import.
featuresPhotograph the card straight-on against a contrasting background, in good light. Avoid shadow across the card. Glossy laminated cards reflect light — angle them slightly or use diffused light. For metal/foil-printed cards, OCR works better in cooler colour temperature.
tipsYes — the OCR engine supports 80+ languages out of the box. Multilingual cards (e.g. CJK name on one side, English contact info on the other) work if you photograph each side separately.
usageOn most cards "Title" appears before "Company" but some designs reverse the order. If the assignment is wrong, edit the downloaded .vcf — it's plain text. The line you want to fix is ORG: (company) or TITLE: (title). Future releases will use an LLM for better field assignment.
technicalPhoto is uploaded to our OCR service, processed in isolation, and deleted within 24 hours. We do not retain card images. For competitive-intelligence scanning at events, consider a desktop OCR install.
privacyFree during beta. No signup, no daily cap on the number of cards. Output .vcf files are unbranded and ready to import.
