10min !

Just scanned all my Business cards and sync them with my contact book. Took me 10min. Awesome.

Happy customer

Its by far the best app to manage business cards. I specially appreciate to be able to leave a comment on the persons cards.

ok so you have to pay for transcriptions....

but its real people transcribing cards! Itd be weird not to pay, right? bought the app when it was "on sale" and have been loving it. its only been a couple of days, but im a total convert. Thanks for the update Econtact Pro! Im still loving this app! Really helps me keep organized.

life saver. seriously

Ok, so Im like the least organized person I know. Seriously, I cant keep track of anything.... my wife pretty much makes sure I leave the house with keys, etc. and Im always losing things. Econtact Pro has been a huge lifesaver because I dont have to hang on to the cards and try to make sense of them later. I just take a pic and its done. Awesome. I dont really see where these people are coming from saying that the text doesnt say anything about paying for credits or that it only works for 3GS... its loud and clear in the "more info". Thanks for the update.

Hooked!

I was skeptical at first, but I was hooked before I used up my 10 free credits. I recommend this app to anyone who meets a lot of people on the go! Its great for conferences and networking events!

cool card reader

This app is really cool. You send cards to be transcribed and then they come back synced into your iPhone contacts. Its so convenient! It will also transcribe any notes you write on the card.

Really Useful

One of my coworkers showed me this app at a retreat. Its a really great way to keep your business cards organized and synced up with your iPhone. It always works. You just dont even have to think about errors or anything being unreadable. You have to pay for each card, but its really cheap- about ¢10 each.

High error rate, preposterously bad service

Hiigh error rate in transcription. Treacle-like turn around time.

Great app for business

So easy to use! Woke up the next morning and they were all synched with my contacts. Now I can easily call and email all my business leads! Bought 500 credits to finally transcribe my collection of business cards. Cant wait to get them off my desk!

still addicted

So I go to a lot of trade shows, and its always a big pain to keep track of the cards that I collect - what vendor they go to, why i thought theyd be useful, etc.. With this app Ive been able to take pictures of cards as Im leaving the booth and write a note right then. None of the scanner apps Ive tried before have been quick enough to do that. Ok, so its more expensive than an OCR app, but its worth it.

Can transcribe notes too!

This app is great. It scans business cards, but it can also read handwriting like if someone pens in their personal number ;)

Overall A-

I give this app an overall A-. It does a great job transcribing the business cards. Ive been using it for a couple of months and theyve all come back perfect. Its easy to use and is a big hit at conferences. I wish there was no wait time for transcriptions.

Amaaaaaaazing !!!

Just what I was looking for,ditched my rolodex for this app. Capture all ur cards in a pic Then it will get in your contacts with every detailed info in it !! So grate costumer support with fast reply. Now my wallet is lighter without any business cards in it!!

Nice App but

Ive used the app for 8 business cards now. In 3 of the cards Ive made changes to what was sent done. Its nice and a bit of a time saver. Gereally works as it should. Did have one problem. It was with an in app purchase. I purchased a ten pack but the end of the purchase seemed off. After a few minutes with no change to my credits I tried again. I bought the 10 in their 50% free sale. The second purchase was fine. I got 10 credits not 15. Contacted them and to their credit immediately gave me the five credited owed. I then got my receipt. Two purcases were on it. I forwarded it to econtacts only to get 5 more for a total of 20. Should of been 30 total. So Ill try contacting them again. Bottom line is decent time saver app but still has a bug or two. Be careful when in app ordering. Im glad it wasnt the 500 packs I wanted!

Slow service

After submitting my first card still waiting after 48 hrs. Not sure if I need this slow service.

Does what it promises - only card reader to have

Best accuracy Ive found for card readers was 70%. Econtact Pro, just works. I think their 100% accuracy guarantee is a bit bogus, because if you find an error, it is easier to fix yourself then to send to them to correct. I would say accuracy is probably 97% to 99%. All in all, best Ive found yet. I started with a small 10 card order, and now have used half of a 500 card order. And my experience over last 3 months is that it is always 24 hrs - not much more, not much less.

You get what you pay for

The service us extremely slow and error prone. Sometimes cards come back overnight, but most of the time it takes several days. Its inexpensive (.99 for ten cards), so I cant really complain.

Just stopped working

Doesnt work anymore. Doesnt update my data and it deleted all of my past entries. Used to love it and now I feel cheated. Contacted them and never got a response.

50% accuracy

Of the first 10 cards I submitted, 5 of your address entries had errors, including email errors, URL errors, and name and address errors. 50% error rate is too high - can you guys get this application to work? Otherwise Ill have to ask for my money back. Also, I purchased a 500 card pack, and the app gave me an error. Apple charged me for the cards, but your app did not credit me. This app has a lot of problems!

Dishonest

Bought credits, they transcribed only one of the three cards submitted. Still waiting on two from 2010.... It is almost Thanksgiving 2011..... Do not buy this app
