I have a stack of business cards that I suspect will one day be tossed. I'm sure most of us do. It just takes too long to manually enter them into your contact manager. What if I could use my phone to take a picture of the card then a program would automatically convert the image into a contact? Optical character recognition programs that convert image to text have been around for years and they have gotten better (I know...I am a software engineer and worked with OCR software for some time). But are versions that run on your Android phone ready for daily use? I gave the free version of Cam Card a spin on two different business cards to see if it could accurately convert image to contact.
