What it is

Zoho Card Scanner is a free Android and iOS app that turns business cards and QR codes into contacts or leads for Zoho CRM. OCR places scanned text into a local database arranged for CRM synchronization. Extracted fields can include names, companies, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, websites, location addresses, and X IDs. The scanner reads cards in 17 languages and stores an unlimited number of business cards. Records can be exported to Zoho Books, Invoice, Contact Manager, Mail, CRM, Salesforce, and Google Contacts. Users can schedule follow-ups, apply configured CRM email templates, and add notes. Custom CRM workflows can move new contacts into a sales process. If a record already exists, the app prompts a merge, using email as the default duplicate field. Zoho lists support for every CRM edition. The plan is free, with no free trial. Zoho was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Chennai, India.
