Card Scanner
Photograph a business card and RepBud does the rest — contact created in seconds.
RepBud's Card Scanner uses AI-powered OCR to extract contact details from business cards instantly. Photograph a card at a trade show, fam trip or client meeting, and RepBud extracts the name, job title, company, email, phone and address — then checks for duplicates against your existing contacts before creating a new entry. No more typing details manually or losing cards in your luggage.
What Card Scanner does for you
Instant AI extraction
Photograph any business card and RepBud extracts the name, job title, company, email, phone number and address using AI-powered OCR — in seconds.
Duplicate detection
Before creating a new contact, RepBud checks your existing database for matches by name and email — preventing duplicate entries and keeping your CRM clean.
One-tap contact creation
Review the extracted details, make any corrections, and create the contact with a single tap. The new entry is immediately linked to the relevant company.
Works with any card format
Vertical, horizontal, multi-language, stylised — RepBud's AI handles business cards of all designs and layouts. Works offline and syncs when reconnected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Card Scanner work?
Open the Card Scanner, photograph the business card using your phone camera, and RepBud's AI extracts the contact details automatically. Review the extracted data, correct anything if needed, and save.
What details does RepBud extract from business cards?
Full name, job title, company name, email address, phone number, mobile number and office address. If the card includes social media handles or websites, RepBud captures those too.
Does the Card Scanner detect duplicates?
Yes. RepBud checks the extracted name and email against your existing contacts and alerts you if a potential duplicate is found — so you can update the existing entry instead of creating a new one.
Can I use the Card Scanner at trade shows?
That is exactly what it is built for. Scan cards between meetings at WTM, ITB, Indaba or any event — and every contact is in your CRM before you leave the venue.
Does the Card Scanner work offline?
You can photograph cards offline. The AI extraction processes when you are back online and the contact is created automatically.
