Name Card Scanner

Take a photo of a name card. It reads the card and puts the contact on your phone. No typing.

Where your contacts go

Sign in with the Google account your phone syncs contacts with, and each card is saved straight into it.

One card per photo works best; two cards side by side also work. Two-sided card? Scan the front, then the back. They join into one contact.

Keep scanning: add your free key

Your first scan is a free test. To keep scanning, add your own free Gemini key from Google: your scans then go straight from this phone to Google, with no limit from this site.

Use it from your own Telegram bot

Send card photos to your own bot and get the contact file back in the chat.

  1. In Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot and follow the steps.
  2. Copy the token it gives you and paste it here.

Your token is stored encrypted and only used to reply in your own chat. Connecting replaces any webhook the bot already had.
