Accurate OCR

I have been using this app for several years and its OCR and general decoding of business card data has continually improved. I appreciate the ability to easily download a CSV backup file for peace of mind. Not the most elegant of UI/UX but it gets the job done. Very well.

Pay wall after 10

You can only add 10 business cards until you have to pay… probably a good tool if you have the money, but I would recommend other apps.

Can’t use on multiple devices

The accuracy of card images is horrible and especially bad for the price. I would never use this again. I also wanted use the iPad so I could correct all the errors it made and it has no way of doing this, HMMM wonder why?

Scan Accuracy is poor

I have used ABBYY products before. But this one is quite poor every card so far I have had to edit. I don’t know if it is because the cards are so busy graphically I would have thought accuracy would be better.

Reconnaissance de caractères un peu limite

Avec les possibilités d’aujourd’hui, difficile d’accepter la reprise systématique des données scannées
Perte de temps et source d’erreur, dommage pour un outil qui est payé pour en faire gagner

Retroactively removing functionality

I had purchased this application’s pro version in the past due to its functionality to scan business cards, especially with Chinese characters etc.

I now had to realize that this functionality is no longer available to me, but only for „premium“ subscribers. Even though I purchased the app before and paid quite a bit of money, I can no longer use the relevant functionality... ridiculous and the obvious reason, why subscription models are not consumer friendly.

Thank you for your feedback. If the Premium subscription was purchased for the BCR app, but the Premium features do not work, please try to apply the recommendations from our article: https://support.abbyy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011673159. If the issue is still relevant, for further investigation, please write us an email at mobile_support@abbyy.com.

Accuracy falling

I do not know why, but it seems that the OCR function is degrading in comparison to the initial few months. (This is my 2nd year in use) Obviously cumbersome to go back and manually edit each card; at that point, I might as well create the card on my own instead of using this app.

I now switch to manual photo capture and retake it several times to get close enough of reading so I do not have to retype so much. Around 3rd time of retaking I can get 90% usable image.

Still a way to go…

Scan card very easily and quickly with accuracy

This App scans cards very quickly and accuracy is close to 100%. For few cards where card colour or text is not proper some manual correction is required. But most of the cards I could scan very easily and quickly. This app is a Great help to maintain multiple cards digitally in mobile.

APP needs lot of work.. try another one!

I have this app.. not very happy with it.. photo taking is fair.. rarely recognize the letters and fields.. I have signed up for the online service for help.. no one has ever responded.. sending emails is useless… I have to edit almost every card…can’t share between devices.
