Why Card Scanner OCR

Works offline, no account

Text is recognized on the device by Apple’s Vision framework. No sign-up, no server, and cards stay on your iPhone or iPad.

Batch scan after an event

Back from a conference with a stack of cards? Batch mode scans them one after another, then you review the pile in one sitting and tag the event.

Export CSV or vCard, save to Contacts

Save a card straight to Apple Contacts, or export CSV for Numbers, Excel or a CRM, or vCard for any contacts app.

How it works

  1. Scan

    Point the camera at a card, or pick a photo you already took. Card edges are found for you.

  2. Check

    Text is split into fields. Fields the app is unsure about are highlighted, so a misread is easy to fix.

  3. Keep

    Save the card to your list or straight to Contacts. Add a note, an event tag and a follow-up reminder.

  4. Share

    Export CSV or vCard. Show your own card as a QR code.

Recognition languages: English, Spanish, Russian and German.
