Scan business cards at a conference

Open ConnectMachine, point your camera at each card, and AI OCR turns the stack into clean, deduplicated contacts on your phone. Each contact keeps the original card image plus a note of where you met, so a conference haul takes minutes, not an evening of typing.

How it works

  1. Scan the stack

    Hold each card in front of your camera and ConnectMachine captures it in a second. Work through a full lanyard bag of cards back to back without stopping to type anything.

  2. AI cleans the data

    AI OCR reads the name, title, company, phone, and email off every card, splits them into the right fields, and merges duplicates so one person never lands in your phone twice.

  3. Context attaches automatically

    Each new contact keeps the original card image and a note of the event, the booth, or what you talked about, so the connection still means something a month later.

What makes it work

Bulk scanning

Scan cards one after another in a single session. A stack that used to be an evening of manual typing becomes a few minutes at the end of the day.

Original card saved

Every contact stores a photo of the physical card alongside the parsed fields, so you can double-check a handwritten extension or a logo you half remember.

CRM and CSV export

Push new contacts straight into your CRM or export a clean CSV, so the people you met at the booth are in your follow-up pipeline the same day.

Frequently asked questions

How do I scan business cards into iPhone contacts?
Open ConnectMachine, point your camera at the card, and it reads the details into a clean contact. From there you can save it to your iPhone contacts or export the whole batch at once.
Can I scan multiple business cards at once?
Yes. Scan cards back to back in one session and ConnectMachine parses each into its own contact, merging any duplicates, so a full conference stack is done in minutes.
What happens to the original card?
The photo of the original card is saved on the contact, so the paper details stay with the person even after you recycle the card itself.
Does the scanner work offline at a busy venue?
You can capture cards even when the venue wifi is unreliable, and the AI parsing catches up once you are back on a connection. Nothing gets lost in a crowded hall.
