Zoho launches Card Scanner app for iPhone

Zoho has announced the launch of Card Scanner, an online business card scanning application for Zoho customer relationship management (CRM).

With this application, users can take a photo of a business card and Card Scanner converts the image to text that is automatically saved either as a new contact or lead in Zoho CRM or as a new contact in Card Scanner.

Card Scanner is currently supported iPhone and will support iPad and Android devices going forward.

With the launch of Card Scanner app, Zoho users can now eliminate the process of manually entering data into their CRM module. The Card Scanner extracts names, company information, phone numbers, email addresses, Twitter handles and other card information - regardless of business card size, font and format.

The key features of the app are- saves time and resources, eliminates importing from spreadsheet, automatically locates address on the map, scans business cards in five languages and increases social connections. If the business card includes a Twitter handle, it automatically downloads the photo from the Twitter profile and syncs it with Zoho CRM.

The app is currently available for the iPhone at $4.99.

Zoho is a division of Zoho Corporation a privately-held company, with offices in California, Austin, New Jersey, Chennai, Singapore, Tokyo and Beijing. Customers use Zoho products to run their business processes, manage their information and be more productive while at the office or on the go.
