Card scanners have been around for quite some time and contrary to popular belief can be very useful. But to be honest, I gave up on card readers a long time ago due to bad experiences with clumsy apps. If done right, however, card scanning software can make adding contact information and keeping track of business contact data a breeze. So naturally, I jumped at the chance when I was asked to check out ABBYY’s Business Card Reader for iOS… I’ll start off by saying that I really like the user interface. It’s very clean and straight forward. The main menu has 3 buttons – Camera, Cardholder, and Options. The Camera function is a no brainer. This is where you capture a snapshot of your business card. I’m using an iPhone 4, so as long as there was good lighting available, pictures came out crisp and clear. Once a business card Read More

Text recognition experts from ABBYY launched version 4.0 of their Business Card Reader app for iPhone. Aside from the “standard” ability to transfer the contact data from business cards to the iPhone address book, the updated version allows users to upload recognized photos of business cards to the new CardHolder archive, making the images searchable (by first and last name, company and photo creation date). Moreover, the contact fields of the scanned business cards are also “clickable” so you can dial a phone number, send an email or activate any link directly from the image with a single touch. In addition, this release also allows tracking of the communication history of business contacts, while keeping seldom used contact data in a separate location. Finally, the application now recognizes text in Korean, bringing the total number of supported languages to 20, including both monolingual and multilingual business cards.

Popular business card reading app for the iPhone, ABBYY Business Card Reader, is now in version 3.0, updated with features that go beyond the classic “capture data from business cards and save it to the address book” functionality. Here’s the trick – ABBYY Business Card Reader 3.0 will not only perform its basic task, but will also search for information about new contacts across popular social and business networks and Google Maps. So in the process of scanning a business card, the application will query Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as check in Hoover’s business database so that you get more information and a better picture about the person “behind the card.” In addition, the new version of ABBYY Business Card Reader further simplifies work with the application by highlighting uncertain characters in the captured text, eliminating the need to visually check all the data. Plus there’s a new more Read More

Business card recognition isn’t something new, as it’s a service you’ll find on many mobile phones – Windows Mobile 6.5 came with it as standard, even – but doing business card recognition well on the other hand, that’s something one doesn’t always find.  Step forward ABBYY Business Card Reader (iTunes link), an app for the iPhone which aims to change that.  By the way, according to the company’s website, that clunky ABBYY name can be translated from its hypothetical language to ‘keen eye’.  We’d have rather they just called it that, to be honest! To use ABBYY effectively, you’re going to need an iPhone 3GS or an iPhone 3G inside Griffin’s Clarifi case. The iTunes blurb doesn’t state that the app is compatible with the iPhone 4’s camera, but we can confirm it works perfectly well with iOS 4. Here’s the scenario: you’ve had a day of meetings and have come Read More
