Abbyy Business Card Reader Pro App Reviews

Sometimes it doesn't recognize words for spelling. I also get 961 added to the prefix of some phone numbers copied from a business card and can't get rid of it so calls will not go through. Tried removing number and adding it again and it still appears. Particular one is Honeycell Midwest in my Ohio contacts.

If you want a very high priced app that you have to proofread every scan you found it. OCR can’t even get ave. (Avp) correct in an address field.

I just paid $40 for this app with great reviews and I can not use it until I agree to let you a) send me advertisements b) collect and process information about my personal/business use of this product c) agree to your terms and privacy policy. Have you lost your mind(s)!!! REFUND MY MONEY this is not a free app. I would give this a zero star if I could.

Deleted immediately.

An awful program! The OCR is terrible. I had to manually-input every card, as the program did not accurately recognize any business card.

Fast fast fast! Well worth the money in time savings

Doesn’t sync to contacts

There is not help menu

Using on an iPhoneX - I use English and Japanese, and wish I could turn off English when scanning Japanese cards. Does well scanning both languages, but the app makes more mistakes when both languages are turned on. English is always on by default. - Annoying app crashes when editing addresses. Most often, while modifying an address, the country selector will suddenly be displayed, and after selecting a country, the app will crash and will need to be rebooted. As verifying data in multiple languages is a tedious task, these random crashes cause significant reduction in productivity. - Add group button doesn’t work when entering data. To add groups, must visit the settings page. - Want the ability to make subgroups of a group. Haven’t tried exporting the data yet, but looking forward to giving it a try. This app has lot of potential. Thank you

I wanted a simple thing: accurate biz card recognition that could easily export to excel. This app delivered! Really useful product.

I tried it. Terrible results. The free Adobe Scan app does a much better job.

I feel like I just got ripped off because I just paid $40 for this app and I’m trying to scan my first card and edit the details for it. Every time I try and update the address it makes me select the country and then closes the app and doesn’t save it! I’ve done this 3 times now. I’m not impressed.

The OCR is pretty great. Love that it retains a digital copy of the card you just scanned. LinkedIn integration is a nice feature as well. No complaints with the app. The website needs more features though. Ability to sync with outlook.com or gmail.com. Ability to export as .vcf. While it’s great to have these contacts backed up to cloud storage, it’s a dead end from there. Export to excel is not nearly good enough. Take the next step guys! Keep up the good work.

Sadly, the app fails, not in the recognition of physical addresses, but because - It adds extraneous information to the address that is not on the card - It transfers the address to the local address book as a single, concatenated field (street) instead of separate street, city, state, ZIP Code fields. As a result, I spend an inordinate amount of time editing the contact record for accuracy. Not only has this not been corrected in over two years, but support fails to acknowledge this is an issue or even respond to the report.

This app has great features that other apps do not offer. I like being able to search them on LinkedIn, save their photo, and export my contacts into an excel file. However, this app can do better with the address function. If the address isn’t correct, I have to make a new address and delete the original because it will not save my edit, or it will mix the state into the street address. Additionally, once I do get the right address and export to an excel file, the state, street, and zip columns are never accurate in the file. It’s very frustrating. Have you thought about making specific fields when inputting the address on the app instead of one long line? One card will work, while the other card from the same company won’t. I just don’t get it. Also, I can’t download the app on my desktop because it’s a windows, and my phone is an apple product and it shows there’s no device found. In order to get the app on my desktop, I’ll have to pay for the app again..? No. Again, this app has better features than other apps, but I don’t know if it’s worth $35.

So far text recognition is not very accurate. I’ll check my settings

The recognition software does not do a very good job at guessing the information on the card. It is a mystery to me why completely garbled words are allowed to be entered into fields. A number 8 is mistaken for the letter B. Letters are allowed in the numbers field. I will have to do a lot of close editing to get this list cleaned up.

I just paid $40 for this app and isn’t only mediocre. The first card I scanned it made the persons title their name and now that I fixed I can’t figure out how to add a title. A couple more cards in and more errors. Plus, I’m still trying to figure out how to fix my own card which it asked me to scan after I entered the second card. There is a feature you can sms a card to someone, but it’s just ugly text that is sent, not a contact. Not super happy so far and not sure why this app has 4.6 stars. I’d say find a free option, should work just as well.

My former, positive review stands; however, I am removing a star because the OCR for physical addresses is so bad. Time and time again the app swaps address parts around and adds city names that aren’t appropriate. Earlier this week a contact I scanned was given four city names, yet the card had only one. I’ve contacted support repeatedly over the last year with no response and no improvement. ———————— ABBYY has a long history in the optical character recognition field and that shows in ABBYY Business Card Reader. The app has excellent text recognition and is one of the easiest of apps in this category to navigate. ABBYY BCR allows you to save an image of the back of the card and you can add a picture of the card’s owner, too. Adding a card is easy: the app detects card edges and snaps the picture automatically. My only major complaint for this app is the four-tabbed detail view. Seeing all the information for a contact can take several taps. Other areas of the app could be tightened up, as well. Some items I'd like to see: - Send vCards by text message, in addition to the existing email message - Format email messages to look nicer (admittedly a minor issue) - Tap to text, in addition to the existing tap to call - Move the view of the back of the card to the same tab as the front - Make "Placement" a setting to enable/disable (and rename it) and allow the user to correct and/or name the location (with the name of the event) - Include the creation date—that, along with the location the card was scanned, gives some indication of the event - Save a card image to photos at a later time, instead of all or none All in all, though, this is a great app that I use daily.

Great app!

Hands down this is one of the greatest apps you will ever have if you meet many contacts on the daily. This app has changed the way I organize new contacts I meet at the job site. I would recommend this to anyone. In fact I tell more and more people all the time about this app when they hand me a business card right away.

Great product. With the last update the designer corrected a significant problem making this a EXCELLENT product now.

App works awesome! It grabs info well and it’s formatted super well. Easy to access and not cluttered. It keeps crashing when I try to delete a number from a contact... ————Update—————— After the developers reached out the issue stopped happening and I seem to be unable to recreate the issue. Since then I haven’t had the app crash or any other problems. App is still great for separating my work and personal contacts.

Will update soon with more information as I continue to use the service.

Doesn’t put the name in the right fields

Давно пользуюсь. Рекомендую

And they charge $10 extra for a feature that doesn’t work. I’ve contacted support and they don’t provide a straight answer no return VMs. I’m not pleased.

I love the app. Wish it could read cards a little better. I suggest it should Allow us to file same card to more than one category.

Generally the app cannot read better than free apps. Recognition of business cards improved but still not enough. Still needs to be improved. Cannot synchronize with Apple ICloud. It is not safe.

Cannot access app without being directed here for a review. Would get at least 4 stars without that. Can't even send a review. Essentially locked out of the app since the last update. Negative stars?

I still have to enter so many pieces of information manually. I might as well do it all manually without an app on my laptop

So far, so good!

PAID FOR FULL VERSION AND IT IS MAKING ME RATE IT BEFORE I CAN ACCESS ANY OF IT!

Quite useful app.

Great app

Hard to fit

Helps me easily keep track of new contacts and export data to Excel to be compiled with my existing customer, contact and marketing lists

Can't live without this!

In general, the app is very easy to use, but I think the recognition could be improved.

Best app for bussines cards ever!!!

I volunteer with many groups. I also have a business and friends from different groups. This app is the only way I can keep all my contacts in one place but divided among the various groups where I know them! Of all the apps I've ever owned, this has to be my all time favorite! I love the fact that every few months I can go in and back everything up. This also makes life so easy when I upgrade my cell phone and need to move my contacts over!

Scanned all my cards in seconds. I enjoy using it on a daily basis.

Thx for nice app.

Все ок

OCR capability doesn’t work very well. Still a lot of manual editing.

I’m enjoying the app. I no longer have to save business cards.

Can’t seem to edit after taking pictures

For the price you should stop advertising your products in app, especially if I’ve bought the product you’re advertising!

Easy to scan, good OCR.

You never loose a card when you save it in the app!!!

Great app !!!

I use this app all the time, it’s great for keeping contacts when you exchange cards with someone. And it’s gotten better over time. Now it recognizes card boundaries and takes the picture automatically

After scanning my first 10 cards nearly each one needed editing. Both names, emails and addresses were not read and transcribed accurately.

I really recommend it

I've tried a few and this one has amazing features plus it saves the photo copy of the card in the program. It transfers the best of all the ones I have tried and has some excellent features built in.

I have tried a number of these apps and this is the most accurate -- if u r using another one, it's a step down! Not perfect OCR, but accuracy is sufficient to save a TON of time entering new contacts.

Fácil de usar, la mejor manera de organizar y guardar tarjetas de presentación

Still require limited amount of manual input.

Works great most of the time. Struggles as soon as Asian letters get involved. Sometimes adds area codes sometimes doesn’t. Could not figure out what affects this so far. I miss the function to selectively reread sections of the cards based on manual adjustments of the card area corresponding with a line item.

Sometimes it doesn't recognize words for spelling.

Great app! Love it. It works exactly as it's supposed to work. I have all my business cards, reward cards, etc in it and it's been very helpful.

keeps forcing me to rate app and doesn't let me continue

It works really good. The multiple business card search options is what I like best. The automatic recognition works well enough.

Hhh

I just want to use the app that I paid for but I cannot because of this review

Works Great!

I liked using it.
