An old paper rolodex

Is Business Card free?
Yes. You can scan and save up to 2 cards for free, with recognition, contact fields, Contacts saving and vCard/CSV export included. Premium removes the card limit and adds iCloud sync and the app lock.
Are my cards uploaded to recognize the text?
No. Text recognition uses Apple's on-device Vision framework, so the card is read on your iPhone or iPad. Cards are stored locally and sync through your own iCloud account when sync is available.
Does it fill in every field automatically?
It reads the card's text and picks out phone numbers, email addresses, websites and a name. Position, company and notes are quick to add by hand, and every field can be corrected before you save.
Which languages can it recognize?
You choose the recognition languages in Settings from the list Apple's Vision framework supports on your device. The exact list depends on your iOS version; accurate and fast recognition levels are both available.
Can I get my cards out of the app?
Yes. Save a card as a new contact in the system contact editor, share one as a vCard (.vcf), or select several cards and export them as vCard or CSV.
How do I get Premium back on a new device?
Open Settings in the app and tap “Restore Previous Purchase”, signed in with the same Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically until you turn that off in your Apple ID settings.
Stop collecting cards. Start keeping contacts.
Business Card is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
