Why our business card scanner stands out

  • User-friendliness and efficiency: With just a few clicks, you can scan business cards and export the data directly to your contacts, CRM system, or as a vCard. Everything runs quickly and smoothly, so you have more time for more important tasks.
  • Precise capture: Our app uses advanced, AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to reliably recognize even complicated fonts, layouts, camera angles, and lighting conditions. This ensures that all information is captured correctly and completely.
  • Data security: The protection of your data is extremely important to us. All scanned information is stored in an ISO 27001 certified data center in Germany. In addition, we do not use any of your uploaded photos or information as training data for our AI. Our app is fully GDPR-compliant, so you can be sure that your data remains private and secure.
  • Versatility: Our scanner can do more than just scan business cards. You can share contacts and add notes to store important information directly with a contact. This way you stay organized and have all the relevant information at hand. You can also scan not only paper business cards, but also business card QR codes and, as a special treat, you can scan common digital business cards.
  • Ideal for companies: Our scanner is perfect for companies of all sizes. Especially in large companies, where many business cards are collected daily, it can make everyday work much easier. It saves time and reduces errors that can occur when entering contact data manually.

How it works

Using our scanner is super easy: Download the oneVcard app, open it up, and tap the "Contacts" tab. You're all set to start scanning business cards! The app walks you through the whole process, so you can jump right in. Once the data is captured, you can export it straight to your favorite system, save it on your device, or share it with your team.

AI for super accurate capturing

Our AI is the heart of the scanner feature. It was mainly developed by Nic to accurately recognize text and layouts on business cards. It automatically categorizes the captured data – from names to phone numbers to email addresses. This makes sure all the important info is structured and correct. If something isn't right, you can always fix it manually – although in our tests, that was only necessary 2% of the time.

Data protection and security

Data protection is really important to us. Our app fully complies with GDPR, and all data is stored in an ISO 27001 certified data center in Germany. You can be sure that your information is always safe and protected.

Companies especially benefit

Our business card scanner is especially made for the needs of companies. It allows you to digitize business cards in no time and automatically integrate the data into CRM systems or other business applications.
