Notebook has a built-in business card scanner so you can quickly scan business cards and save them across devices. Once you do a scan, Notebook automatically transforms the scanned content into a Contact Card, which formats the information and saves a copy of the business card for your convenience.
Follow the steps below to scan business cards on your iOS or Android device:
- When you open Notebook, tap Capture
found in the toolbar at the bottom of the main screen.
- Once the camera is open, swipe left and select Business Card.
- Place the phone directly above the business card so that the camera focuses on it.
- Notebook then captures the image, pulls out the information from the image of the business card, and saves the info as a Contact Card in your Notebook app.
Notebook may have trouble scanning all the data on a card in the following cases:
- The card and the background are not in contrast with each other.
- The lighting conditions are poor.
- Unrecognizable card font or graphics.
The app then moves the image to a filter screen where you can crop the card out. Once this is done the app automatically saves the information as a Contact Card.
