Cardient Open Cardient

Visiting card scanner app

Stop typing phone numbers from paper cards. Point your phone at a visiting card and Cardient turns it into a searchable contact in seconds.

Start scanning cards

Scan both sides, get every detail

Cardient uses OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text on the card: person name, designation, company name, mobile and office numbers, email, website and address. Scan the back too, and both images are kept with the contact so you can always check the original.

Scan offline at events

Conference halls and exhibition centres often have poor signal. Cardient keeps working without internet: take photos of business cards offline and they are read and synced as soon as you reconnect.

Organise as you scan

Add a category such as client, vendor or partner, write a quick note, record a voice memo and the place you met. Later, search across every card by name, company, city or note.

Save to phone contacts or export

Send scanned cards straight to your Android or iPhone contacts as a vCard, or download a CSV for Excel, Google Sheets or your CRM.

Everything in Cardient

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.

Works offline

Sign in once. After that you can scan, browse, search and edit cards with no internet; changes sync when you are back online.

Private and encrypted

Contact details, photos and voice notes are encrypted on our servers. Only you can see your cards.
