AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Pros & Cons:

Pros

  • Superior business card scanner app loaded with features
  • Very accurate with information capture
  • Supports batch card recognition & double-side recognition
  • Ability to export contacts in VCF or Excel CSV
  • Multi-language character recognition
  • Intuitive and well designed

Cons

  • Currently does not support Google Apps contact sync :(

Features & Usefulness:

CamCard Business Card Reader is the ultimate business organization tool for any business person or networker! This app allows you to take a picture with your phone’s camera of business cards and capture the information saving time. The app can also save you some dough versus buying a hardware business card scanner. The free version is limited to scanning up to 10 business cards a day, there is CamCard – BCR (Western) for $6.99 which recognizes western languages and the full version for $11.99.

Being a Google Apps user, the biggest gripe I have is the current lack of support for automatically adding contacts to Google Apps contact list. You could use the apps’ Card Holder feature to connect with contacts or manually sync one-by-one… but who wants to do that?!? Of course there is a workaround to export all contacts scanned, email the exported file to yourself, then log into Google Apps contacts and import the file. Thereafter your Android device will then sync those scanned contacts to the device as usual. :mad:

Of all the business card scanner/reader apps reviewed this one really impresses with it’s accuracy and user experience. When scanning each individual information item can be edited before saving, images are automatically cropped (other card scanner apps require you to crop cards yourself), supports batch scanning, double-side card scanning, a pseudo phone contact manager in the form of Card Holder feature, plus much more! The app is really loaded with feature set… see below:

Main features:

  • Automatically trim and enhance card image before save into Card Holder.
  • Options to save into the phone/Gmail/Exchange contact.
  • Automatically recognize the language type of the card image content.
  • Automatically rotate the card image
  • Batch shooting or importing card images for recognition
  • QR code generation for the contact’s content
  • QR code recognition for the contact’s content
  • Email signature recognition
  • Double-side business card image capturing
  • Search contact in Card Holder
  • Export contact as vcf or Excel file in Card Holder
  • Add note
  • Password protection
  • Support Likedin invitation or search
  • Support business card recognition for English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese

Ease of Use & Interface:

Taking a page from Apple’s design guide playbook… the user interface aesthetics are just beautiful, not to mention how simple and intuitive overall app operation is. If you take a trip digging inside every feature it shows just how robust the software tool is.

Frequently Used:

Chances are if you’re interested in this product you are a casual to quantified business card collector. You will definitely get your bang for your bucks in the amount of time it will save you with information collection.

    CamCard is good to use, but not so good to wallet. I would rather say ScanBizCard and ScanCard are 2 great alternatives, both of which are based on the web synchronization to use business card reader. The difference is with ScanBizCard you get the human correction which garranties almost 100% accuracy but needs to wait a couple of hours before getting the result, while ScanCard runs on the local recognition engine and gives the result right away. Both of them are free, the choice is on your hand.

    Is there a way to upload the data from NIMCARD or Hotcard or BIZCARD recognition software (.biz OR .nim) ?
