NTRODUCING BUSINESS CARD READING
Next to recognition of "regular" documents, Readiris also offers
business card recognition.
Readiris allows you to scan business cards, recognize them and
convert them into an address database. By means of OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) the data on business cards is extracted
automatically from the image, converted into editable text and
inserted in the correct database field through field analysis. This
works for 52 countries.
Readiris not only analyzes but also formats the recognized text. The
resulting data can be used in many ways: you can store your
contacts in Address Book or export them as HTML, Unicode text
or vCard files. You can also choose to open these output files
directly in the application of your choice. Readiris smoothly
complements such applications as contact managers, databases or
even word processors whose “mail merge” function allows to print
letters, envelopes and labels.
To recognize business cards:
 Click the Document type icon on the main toolbar and click
Business Cards.
