A business card scanner that doesn't stop at the scan.
Most people you meet still hand you a paper card. A scanner app turns it into a contact in seconds. The question is what happens next.
What to look for in a business card scanner
- Accuracy. Names, titles, emails and phone numbers read correctly, including cards with unusual layouts.
- Speed. One photo, a quick check, saved.
- Room for notes. The card tells you who someone is. Your notes tell you why they matter to you.
- Where the contact goes. Your phone, a CRM, or a company account your team shares.
- Follow-up. A scanned card sitting in an app is no better than one in a drawer.
How it works in Syndeya
- Tap the gold + button and take a photo of the card.
- Syndeya's AI reads the name, title, company, email and phone and fills in the contact.
- Add what you talked about by typing or recording a quick voice memo. Syndeya saves the key points and follow-up points.
- The next morning at 9, Syndeya reminds you who they were and what you discussed, then keeps reminding you on a schedule built around how memory fades.
On a company account, scanned contacts are saved to the company and can be sent to HubSpot automatically or exported for Salesforce. More on CRM integration.
