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.
