Even in a digital world, the cardboard business card remains a stock in trade for business and personal promotions.
Keeping track of the printed business card and transcribing such cards into digital data can be a time consuming, tedious and often forgotten chore. The ABBYY business card reader app does the work for you by allowing you to use your smart phone to snap a photo of each card to enter the information into the app's scanning system which does the translation work in a flash.
Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, the ABBY card scanner reads cards in eight different languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Spanish.
You can forget about card holders or the old Rolodex files. All contacts are stored in a cloud and synchronized across your devices, allowing access from your smartphone, tablet, computer or even your Apple watch.

If you already have a full-size scanner, you can also get Windows software like the $30 ABBYY Business Card Reader. The program, like other card-scanning products, uses optical-character recognition technology to convert the information on a scanned business card into text that can be imported into the corresponding fields in a contact-manager app.
The ABBYY company also sells mobile apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone devices that use the device's camera as a scanner to capture the information on the business card. Other mobile apps for scanning business cards include CamCard and ScanBizCards.
