Scan business cards into more than 250 apps (opens in new tab)

Wrong company... Or am I missing some connection?

Hey Andreas, I figured out what's going on.

Because we use real people to transcribe the cards, we found that we were having trouble with accuracy when the cards are in languages other than English. As such, we flagged the app to countries that have English the primary language.

As we scale the app, we're going to enable more countries. But right now we wanted to make sure that we're providing the best possible experience, even if that means to a smaller base of users.

Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey there. Thanks for the heads up. That definitely shouldn't be happening, considering that we test on a Nexus 4. We're taking a look now to see what's up.

CardMunch still (for the next few days anyway) uses real people. That didn't change when the company moved under LinkedIn. Unfortunately there was an opportunity there that was never really seized.

As for how we compare? That's a matter of personal preference.

While I like Evernote a lot, and use it daily, it's just not where I want to store my contacts. Nothing about that makes sense to me. My contacts need to be where they're the most accessible, from the device that I'm going to use to get in touch with them.

I don't use a CRM, but if I did, I'd want to scan cards into it because that's where it makes sense for those contacts to live. I'd want to segment them and I'd want to pull them into my phone when I needed them. None of these things are easy to do when you use Evernote as your repository. It's great for being your "second brain", but not so great for being your phone book.

The big thing to mention here is that we don't use OCR, we use real people. It's the main differentiator (aside from the Zapier integration) between Card Reader and just about every other alternative. Yes, it's slower, but it's also incredibly accurate. And really, when was the last time that you scanned in a business card and needed the information from it 20 seconds later?

Why does it need to add your address book?
