## What is Cardenius?

Cardenius is an AI powered business card and visiting card scanner and contact manager for professionals who want to digitize, organize, and grow their network.

Stop losing cards. Stop typing details by hand. Cardenius does it all in seconds.

SCAN & DIGITIZE INSTANTLY
Point your camera at any business card and let AI do the work. Cardenius scans the card to contacts in seconds - extracting name, phone, email, company, job title, website, and address. Already have a photo? Import from your gallery and let the visiting card scanner read it automatically.

A guided two-step flow captures the front and back, and AI cross-references icons and field types for accuracy - even on smudged or angled cards. You review every field before saving, so nothing is ever wrong.

SCAN IN 100+ LANGUAGES
This card reader works in 100+ languages worldwide, with deep support for 10+ Indian scripts. Scan Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam and Odia visiting cards with native script accuracy. Bilingual and mixed-script cards are handled naturally, with the native script preserved alongside English.

WORKS FULLY OFFLINE
On-device recognition lets you scan and save cards anywhere - at trade fairs, on flights, or in venues with no signal. No internet needed. For best accuracy, rescan once you're back online and full AI extraction is available.

ORGANIZE YOUR ENTIRE NETWORK
- Auto-categorises contacts across 22 business types
- Tag contacts (e.g. "New York Expo") and filter by one or many at once
- Add personal notes to any contact
- Lead management with pipeline stages and an interaction timeline
- Set follow-up reminders and birthday alerts
- Get a daily digest of reminders and birthdays
- See all contacts from one company in a single tap
- Instant bilingual search across your network
- Automatic duplicate detection

SHARE YOUR DIGITAL CARD
Use the built-in digital business card maker in the Card Studio - design your own card with 15 templates, then share it 7 ways: WhatsApp, QR code, PDF, image, link, vCard, or text. No more running out of paper cards.

WHATSAPP INTEGRATION
Share your card or any contact on WhatsApp with one tap. Use built-in templates for introductions and follow-ups - personalized and professional.

### 5/5 — Best business card scanner!! Incredibly smart and reliable

*2026-06-22*

As an interior designer, managing business cards and contacts can be difficult. I've used other apps before, but this one is the easiest and most useful for my day-to-day work.

The best feature is the Map View, which lets me see nearby contacts and navigate directly to their locations. It can also open the address in Google Maps, saving me the hassle of searching manually. A very practical and helpful app for professionals.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Cardenius has become a useful part of your daily workflow.

We’re especially glad you enjoy the Map View feature and its integration with Google Maps. Making it easy to organize contacts and connect with them quickly is exactly what we designed Cardenius for.

Thanks for your support, and we look forward to bringing you even more helpful features!
