About this app

Even with 100 cards, you'd only need 5 minutes, because this speedy app scans 10 at a time. Scatter out your cards, tap a button, and watch them transform into digital contacts.
Spend less time organizing and start a conversation right away.

----------

How you can organize your network and achieve more:

- Scan up to 10 business cards at once
No other app scans multiple cards at once, in any way you scatter them. Wantedly People captures them all in a matter of seconds.

- Turn physical cards into phone contacts
Let the app do the hard work for you. OCR (optical character recognition) detects and analyzes text on cards to instantly create new contacts. Powered by AI (artificial intelligence), the app improves in accuracy with each card it scans.

- Express yourself through a full professional profile
You’re more than what your card says. Say what you can’t fit in those few square inches through a Wantedly profile complete with a self introduction, work history, education, achievements, projects, social media links, and more.

- Search contacts by name, as well as company and job position
So no worries if you forgot someone's name.

- Call and email contacts
Just tap and go.

- Send instant messages to contacts
Message with Wantedly's agile business chat platform, Wantedly Chat.

- Share and swap business cards with others online
Share a card over chat or email with a temporary URL. It'll expire after a set amount of time to protect privacy.

Ratings and reviews

The developer made a great app in terms of OCR. Best I can find. It has trouble with biz names but most do due to weird fonts To add contacts to other applications, loginto your account on a computer and export to csv (a simple google search will get you instructions if you have trouble.) Once you have the csv, if you have a lot of contacts it might be a mess...but it's a free app so cant complain. Thank you for developing this :)

I scanned two different kinds of business cards with the app. It got the name, email, and title incorrect. Not only that, the name skipped a letter and the title had mixed capital and lowercase letters. I tried to scan three cards at once and each time, it only scanned one. The app doesn't have enough accuracy to be useful in any serious business context and requires heavy editing on the part of the user.

Nice that it scans multiple cards, but addresses often wrong, limited fields, not enough space for long phone numbers, and no easy way to share contacts to people outside of the app (of course - because they want to imprison you in their system, like a social network). Could be so much better.
