A scanner that fits your contact workflow
Use your Android camera to capture a card when you receive it, or select an existing card image from your photo library. Review the extracted fields before saving the record.
Keep the card and the reason it matters
A searchable name is useful. A name plus the original card and a note about the conversation is better. Widely keeps those pieces together so the contact still makes sense later.

- Use even light and avoid glare on coated cards.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I download Widely for Android?
Widely is available from its listing on Google Play.
Should I keep the paper card after scanning?
That depends on your workflow. Widely preserves the original image, but you may want to keep cards that have handwritten notes or special value.
