After releasing the Symbian version last year, ABBYY is bringing its Business Card Reader app to the users of the iPhone 3GS. Like other such apps, the ABBYY Business Card Reader transfers contact data such as names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and other key information from business cards directly to the iPhone address book. ABBYY is using its own OCR (optical character recognition) technology which they say has “won worldwide acclaim for its supreme accuracy.” 16 languages are supported — including English, German, French, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Indonesian, Norwegian (both Bokmal and Nynorsk), Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.
As for the pricing, you can grab the app for $9.99 from here. (iTunes)
About The Author
Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
