Customer and supplier master data

Business card scanner with editable OCR results

Photograph or upload a business card. The business card scanner reads the text in your browser and prepares contact details for review.

How does business card scanning work?

Browser-based OCR reads the card and checks different orientations. Recognized email and contact details feed the same editable draft used for email signatures.

Check the text read from the card

Capture with an explicit action

Use a sharp image with the whole card visible. Glare and decorative fonts can reduce recognition quality.

Handle different card orientations

Correct names, phone digits and email addresses before continuing. Manual entry remains available.

Correct before continuing

Once checked, the contact can be used in a business partner draft and sent through a configured connection.

How it works

  2. 2

    Capture a clear image

    Wait for OCR and inspect the text.

  3. 3

    Review OCR results

    Correct the extracted fields.

  4. 4

    Continue qualification

    Continue with company lookup and review.

Practical example

Example: Business card scanning

After a trade show, upload a rotated card. OCR checks its orientation; you verify the email before looking up the company.

OCR can misread individual characters. It does not verify whether the person still works for that company.
