## What is Pianke Offline Card Scanner?

Pianke is a genuinely offline business card scanner and contact manager.

No account. No cloud. No server. No subscription — one purchase, yours for good. The app ships with no networking code at all: no backend, no analytics or ad SDK, no tracking. Scanning, OCR and field parsing all happen on your device. Your business cards stay on your phone.

Built for people who exchange cards across Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and English-speaking business contexts, and for anyone who does not want client contact data uploaded to a cloud service. The app's interface is in Traditional Chinese; it reads English cards fully.

Key features:

- Offline card scanning
Capture a physical card with the built-in document scanner — edges detected and perspective corrected automatically.

- On-device multilingual OCR and field parsing
Recognises Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), English, Japanese and Korean, then parses name, company, title, phone, email, address, website and notes with offline rules. Tuned for Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and English card layouts; phone numbers are classified mobile or landline by the card's own country.

- QR on the card
Reads a contact QR printed on a card and merges it into the parsed result.

- Field-by-field review
Fix any field after the scan, add or remove extra phones, emails and addresses, or edit the raw OCR text and re-parse. A bilingual card keeps its English name in a field of its own (陳大文 and David Chen), carried into search, export and Contacts. Tap text directly on the card image to fill the matching field. Low-confidence fields are flagged for a second look.

- Duplicate merge
Scanned someone twice? Merge into the existing card in one tap: duplicate phones and emails are dropped, tags and notes combined, and the existing photo kept.

- On-device library
Browse by thumbnail, name or company, with keyword search, company grouping, tag filters, multi-select and delete. Each row shows its tags, a multi-selection can be tagged or untagged in one go, and cards still awaiting review after a batch scan sit at the top. Deleting a card removes its stored image too.

- My Card QR
Build your own digital card QR. Anyone can scan it with any camera and save you as a contact — no need to install Pianke. Generated entirely on device, with no account and no cloud.

- Card Report (PDF + CSV)
Back from a trip, a trade show or a round of client visits? Tick the cards you collected and Pianke builds an A4 PDF report: each card with its photo and contact details, and the companies you met listed on the cover. A CSV comes with it for a spreadsheet or CRM. Group by scan date or by company, and preview the report in the app before you share it. It is generated entirely on your phone.

- Export and share
Export vCard or CSV, write to your Contacts, share your card QR, or export card images as PDF or JPEG.

- Backup and security
JSON backup and import (an import merges with the cards you have, it never overwrites them), plus an encrypted .piankevault local backup — encryption happens on device and the key never leaves it. App Lock uses Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode.

- Follow-up reminders
Attach a meeting note and a local reminder to a card so the follow-up does not slip.

The free tier covers offline OCR, editing, search, export (vCard/CSV/PDF), duplicate merge, My Card QR, App Lock and backup, holds up to 15 saved cards, and makes a watermarked preview of the Card Report. Pro is a one-time purchase that removes the library limit, makes the full Card Report, scans several cards in one batch and unlocks multiple My Card identities. No subscription, no ads, no tracking.

Pianke: keep your cards on your phone, and your relationships with you.
