The fourth version of ABBYY Business Card Reader for iPhone released

The other day we released a new, fourth version of ABBYY Business Card Reader for iPhone. What is new? First of all, ABBYY BCR 4.0 learned to recognize the Korean language, and now there are as many as 20 in the program of recognition languages. But the main innovation is CardHolder, or “Business Card Holder”, a special archive for storing photos of business cards along with recognized data.



Having photographed a business card, the user can choose one of the options: add a contact to the address book, save a business card in the "Card holder" or immediately do both.



The archive has a convenient search function, as well as sorting images by first name, last name, company name and date of addition.



Each image has areas with a phone, email address and Internet links - if you click on them, you can call, write a letter or click on the link (in other words, the function of our “grabbers” is included here ).



“Business card holder” allows, on the one hand, to have detailed information about business contacts, including the image of a business card, on the other hand, not to overload the address book, while having quick access to data with the ability to search and sort.

There is news for owners of devices on Android: there is a free version of BCR for this platform - ABBYY Business Card Reader Lite for Android. The program recognizes all fields of a business card, but only saves the first name, last name and first phone found on a business card, searches for contact information only on Facebook. You can download it on the Android Market or on our website .
