Follow a scanned card from camera to OCR, cloud sync, CRM, and deletion. Learn how to read a scanner app's disclosures and choose what to keep.
Test a business card scanner on a small, varied set of your own cards. Score text and field mapping separately, verify one export, and decide whether review is still needed.

Use iPhone Live Text to save a detected phone number or email, add the other card details, and check the contact you saved.
Scan paper business cards into Excel, check OCR, keep phone numbers intact, and remove duplicates without losing the original list.
