Scan Biz Cards with PhoneGap

Is it possible to scan business cards with PhoneGap and fetch the contact details from that card ? I couldn't find anything on Google, so posting it here.

Can anyone suggest some good http API to convert business card image to contact details.

Solution

  • I found some APIs. Here are the results of my R&D on business cards scanning:

    There is no direct plugin or method available to extract contact information from a business card. You can use several APIs available in the market. Some of them are:

    1. Full Contact : http://www.fullcontact.com/developer/
    2. Shape API : http://bcrtest.shapeservices.net/
    3. Cam Card API : https://dev.camcard.com/
    4. Evernote API : https://dev.evernote.com/doc/

    Remember these APIs are not freeware.
