Salesforce Business Card Scanner

What Salesforce Business Card Scanner is

Salesforce Business Card Scanner is an Android app for turning business-card images into Salesforce contact records. It recognizes contact details from photographed cards or images already saved on the device, then lets users review and correct the fields before approving a record for transfer. Users can add text or voice notes to help with follow-up. Recognition supports 25 languages, including multilingual cards, according to the Google Play listing. The app is aimed at professionals gathering contacts at meetings, exhibitions, and field work. Approved contact data is sent to Salesforce; this edition is not presented as a direct Microsoft Excel integration. The free version includes 10 test recognitions, after which recognitions must be purchased. Personal plans are one-time purchases with no expiry: $14.99 USD for 110 recognitions, $27.99 USD for 300, $59.99 USD for 750, or $99.99 USD for 1,500, each for one user. Annual corporate plans cost $199.00 USD for 3,750 recognitions, $499.00 USD for 15,000, $2999.00 USD for 150,000, or $9999.00 USD for 1,500,000, with unlimited users. Plans list 24/7 support. The maker says card photos are sent to an OCR server and deleted after recognition, and recognized data returns encrypted.

Verdict
