Visiting Card Scanner & Digital Business Card App
Cardient is a visiting card scanner and digital business card app for professionals, sales teams and business owners. Snap a photo of any visiting card and Cardient reads the name, phone, email, company and address for you, then helps you remember where you met and when to follow up.
Features
Visiting card scanner with OCR
Photograph the front and back of a business card. Text recognition fills in the name, designation, company, phone numbers, email, website and address, ready to edit.
Save cards to phone contacts
Add one card or your whole list to your phone contacts as a vCard, with photo and notes. Export to Excel/CSV for your CRM.
Follow-up reminders
Plan a call, meeting or email for every new contact, get reminded on time and add it to your calendar.
Remember where you met
Each card keeps the event, place, date and an optional voice note, so “who was that from the expo?” has an answer.
Exchange cards at events
Create an event room, share the code or QR, and everyone in the room swaps digital visiting cards in one tap.
Living cards that stay up to date
When someone you are connected with changes their number or company, your copy of their card can update itself.

Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a visiting card?
Open Cardient, tap Scan and take a photo of the card (front and back if needed). The app reads the text and fills in the contact fields. Review them and save.
Can I save scanned business cards to my phone contacts?
Yes. Open a card and choose Save to contacts, or select many cards and save them all at once. Cardient creates a standard vCard (.vcf) that Android and iPhone contacts can import.
Does Cardient work without internet?
Yes. You need the internet only to sign in. After that you can scan cards, search, add notes and reminders offline; everything syncs automatically when you reconnect.
Is my contact data safe?
Contact details, card photos and voice notes are encrypted on the server, and your cards are visible only to you unless you choose to share them.
Do I need to install an app from the store?
No. Cardient runs in the browser on Android, iPhone and desktop, and you can install it to your home screen like a regular app.
Can I export my business cards to Excel or a CRM?
Yes. Export your contacts as a CSV file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets and imports into most CRMs.
