Adobe Scan App Can Now Convert Business Cards to Contacts

Adobe has released an update to the Adobe Scan app that lets you easily convert business cards to contact entries without any typing.

Today’s update to Adobe Scan expands the app’s text recognition superpowers to turn physical business cards into shareable digital contacts on iOS and Android devices. Now anyone can quickly and easily pull the information from a business card and save it into their mobile contacts without typing it in letter by letter or line by line.

Using AI powered by Adobe Sensei, Adobe Scan recognizes the business card in your hand, detects the card’s borders, corrects skewed perspectives, adjusts lighting and shadows, and extracts (OCRs) the text. It will also crop out your finger or thumb if it eclipses an edge. Once the business card is scanned, click the new “Save Contact” button to automatically add the person’s name, phone number, email address, and an image of the business card to your contacts.
