premium versions of their card-reading app.
This app is perfect for the iPhone-loving Dad. Is the home office cluttered with hundreds of business cards? Rolodex collecting dust?
Scan. Click. Upload. The ScanBizCards iPhone app automatically transfers a business card collection into your smart phone contact list, can send an introductory email, and even connect on LinkedIn. A digital album on the app keeps the cards in the original form for sharing later on and for reference.
The ScanBizCards iPhone app allows you to do the following:
- Take a new photo or select from saved photos.
- Don’t worry about the orientation. The app automatically detects it and rotates the image accordingly.
- Crop the image for a quicker and more accurate scan or just to save a nicer thumbnail.
- Touch up the results after a scan
- Touch “Add To Address Book”. The card image is attached to the new contact entry.
- You don’t have to add to the address book if you don’t want to.
- After a scan, send a Quick Intro email to the new contact with your own info.
- Forward the contact (scanned text + image + V-card) to a co-worker or friend.
- Invite the new contact to join your LinkedIn network without ever leaving the app!
- Add a calendar reminder to follow-up right from within the app (synchronized with the iPhone calendar or your Desktop calendar).
- Phone numbers, email addresses and URLs recognized during the scan appear highlighted, allowing you to use them immediately just by touching the.
- Organize your cards in custom folders to group contacts from a particular tradeshow, industry or anything else.
- Status icons let you see at a glance whether each card was added to the address book, whether a calendar reminder was set, if you made notes in that card or if a LinkedIn invite was sent.
- Flip through your cards in attractive 3D “cover flow” interface.
- Export selected cards to Excel file – then import into Salesforce, Highrise, ACT or other CRM.
