An iPhone app we like very much is business card reader, an application that will work for you no matter you are a business person or just have tons of business cards in the pockets. The idea of this programme is very simple: you take a picture of a business card with your iPhone and all the data is scanned directly to your iPhone address book. As simple as that. So you do not need to carry any business cards any longer, you just take a photo and all the information is from then on available on your phone . All thanks to iPhone business card reader. Of course it is not perfect – you will need certain amount of light to take a good picture that could be easily scanned. Steady hands and no shadows are also a must. The programme recognises names of companies or people, faxes, phone numbers,  emails addresses  and website addresses. There are many apps  of this kind so you will be able to choose the one that suits you best.

One of the best business card reader for iPhone is Econtact Pro. It is the only app that guarantees a 100% accurate transcription. It works because business cards are manually transcribed by people and if something is wrong they just fix all the mistakes.The app does not use  OCR or any text-recognition  technology at all. The app cost only $3.99. However you get only 10 transcription credits when you buy the app. After that , you can purchase transcription credits in bulk packages of 10 cards for just $1.99 or 100 cards for $14.99.

Another business cards reader app is WorldCard Mobile. It uses OCR technology so it requires more involvement in the process of scanning. The accuracy of the app is quite good and if you are not busy you can easily fix all the mistakes. And at last what is the most important about the app: you pay only once. Not like in case of Econtact Pro.
