[OSX-Users] Re: scans of business cards - into address book?

[Jules Field]

There is an iPhone app that does this job really well. Nick Gibbins 
knows what it's called, as he showed it to me once. It works out what is 
the name, job title, company name, phone number, email address, 
everything; it then turns that into a new Contact for you in your 
address book on your iPhone.

Ask Nick.
