Best Android apps for scanning business cards

ScanCard BCR US/EU Lite

Another business card reading app to choose from is ScanCard BCR US/EU Lite. It doesn’t have a lot of features that other business card reading apps do, but it has a couple of simple yet useful features. It can easily read business cards, thanks to its accurate and fast character recognition (though it requires an auto-focus camera) which can recognize characters of different languages. It can read English, French, German, Spanish, and several other languages. All it takes is one click and the app will do the rest for you. No need to type all those contact details.

Once the cards are scanned, the app allows you to easily export the information to the phone’s address book or share the contact information with co-workers. If you want to look for a business card, the app supports searching using any keyword in the card. Aside from those functions, the app allows for a quick call to, email for, checking the website of, or determining the map location of that contact on your Android device. This is only a trial version though and you can only use it ten times.

Mobile Doc Scanner Lite

Mobile Doc Scanner Lite is another handy tool that you can use to scan your business cards or any other documents that you want to keep a soft copy of for back up. The better your camera’s resolution, the clearer the copy of the document. But, in cases where your camera is average, you don’t have to worry because this app has unique automatic processing functions that would do the trick for you. It will adjust the picture that you have taken so that it will become clean and legible.

This Nokia OVI Store best seller could just be the solution you are looking for. Try Mobile Doc Scanner Lite for free on the Google Play Store and if you like it you can upgrade to the pro version of the app.

WorldCard Mobile

Worldcard Mobile is an award-wining business card reading app. It’s as easy to use as most card reading apps and has a nice looking interface. With this app, all that needs to be done is to take a picture of the business card and add a contact.

It is also quick to use and it can recognize 7 languages, namely, English, French, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Once the contact’s information is registered on your phone, you can easily contact that person. This app allows you to instantly make a phone call, send a text message, email or even check a website and the map location of the registered address. There is also an option to export the info to phone contacts and Google. As easy as it sounds, this app is a breeze to use. Try it. You can buy it from the Google Play Store.
