From a card to a useful contact
Photograph a business card with your phone or choose an image you already have. Widely extracts the contact details so you can review the name, company, role, phone number, and email address before saving.
The original card image stays with the record, giving you a visual reference when a name alone is not enough.
A simple scanning workflow
- Capture the business card with your camera or photo library.
- Review the recognized details and correct anything that needs attention.
- Add the context you want to remember, then save the contact.
- Search the saved details when it is time to reconnect.
Made for the moment after an introduction
A scanner is most useful when it removes the small tasks that usually follow a meeting. Widely reduces manual entry and puts the next action—calling, messaging, or emailing—within reach from one organized record.
