business card scanner-sam pro

Text that is perfectly clear black on white text on in on the card is misread. It misspelled the main word, locksmith. It has no spell correction so I had to type most the words in myself. Updating after a few months and I am just used to having to correct extremely common words from nonexistent words. I use a free app and it works the same. I expected that one word would be incorrect not so many of them. A lot of the phone numbers are weird and that it will start on the third or second digit instead of the first digit. It is as if the first characters don't exist. But I do like about this app is the way to get text before the draft. You press the button and when it feels that has the right call the image it takes the picture. One improvement I would suggest is to take three quick pictures and use all three in comparison to do better character recognition. Since this works about the same as the other two apps I have downloaded I will go ahead and use it a while and then use another and then use another and keep reviewing and hoping that somebody improves the process.

I loved this app the first months using it. Best thing since sliced bread. Then I noticed in emailing a cool biz prospect I met at an event, the email bounced back. Carefully checking the address, I realized the small font used on most well designed biz cards cannot be trusted w/this app. It thought an "i" was a lower case "L" for example. Then I double checked the other 8 cards I'd just entered w/this app n was horrified to see this was happening often! Omg, this means all the key business prospects I thought I now could reach out to were possibly useless since I chuck the cards after entering them! Will never use this app again! What's the point if your have to comb over every digit hyper carefully to make sure it's right? Faster to just hand enter. Shame. Loved the ease of it; but trust is not 100%, and I can't work w/that. I only collect cards of very important people I MUST have correct info for!

I do not get a huge amount of business cards handed to me and i hate carrying them around! This app does a very good job of reading them and determining the correct categories (fax, cellular, address) the information should be put in. The interface is great looking but the best feature is flexible to organize and display the information. Cards can be displayed either by date, name or company, and can be put in user defined groups so you stand a chance of finding contact information depending on how your mind remember ls. Links great with the phone contacts so updating one updates the other but only if you want it to. Well done!
