App Recommendation: WorldCard Mobile

I get handed tons of business cards in my professional life. I meet with vendors, contractors, sub-contractors, corporate representatives and more in a normal work week. They all have cards, and they all seem to want to give me as many as possible.

That’s where WorldCard Mobile comes in. I can take a photo of a business card, and the app will work some OCR magic to put the data into a new contact. Thankfully, it allows editing the data before saving it, in case the app didn’t get everything just right. Once edited, the card is “exported” to the iPhone and — in my case — is sent to iCloud within seconds

In the few weeks I’ve had it, I have not needed to correct the app’s OCR-ified text a single time. It’s that good.

It’s $6.99 on the App Store, and well worth it.
