Scanning is Only The Beginning
ScanBizCards has such a long list of features that it’s not easy to discover them all! So here is the complete up-to-date list. Truth is we feel ScanBizCards is much (much) more than a “card scanner”. Other card scanning apps cover just 2 or 3 of the 27 features below: scanning a card image for text, then adding to the address book. This is it – most scanning apps actually discard the card image once it has been added to the address book. We could not disagree more. Make sure to read about the Web Sync feature at the end of the list: it dramatically expands the ways you can manage and use your cards and extends your access to them beyond your iPhone.
