Item Description
CardSnap makes creating contacts a snap!  CardSnap allows you to quickly and easily convert business cards into contacts on your BlackBerry®™.  CardSnap is ideal for use at conferences and trade shows where people often don t have enough business cards to give out because you can simply  snap  their card and return it.

CardSnap uses the high resolution camera of your device  minimum 3.2 mega pixel required  to capture an image of a business card and processes it through a cutting edge optical character recognition  i.e., OCR  engine and sophisticated contact data element identification algorithm.  This results in little if any manual modification in order to create a new contact.

Features
- Unlimited card snaps
- Snap cards and save them for contact conversion later
- Simultaneously ?snap? cards while others are being processed
- Auto contact field identification
- Free upgrades to new releases

*** IMPORTANT *** 
Be sure to read the user s guide for tips on the best way to take a photo of a business card using your BlackBerry®.  The user s guide can be found here: http://www.card-snap.com/CardSnapUG.html

Limitations
- The OCR quality is dependent on the picture quality   dark or blurry images may not yield good results
- Auto contact field identification is limited to United States formatted addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and web addresses.  Additional localizations will be included in future releases.
- Works with the BlackBerry® Storm™ 2, BlackBerry® Storm™, BlackBerry® Tour™, and BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700

not the best available

It works fair at best.  it's necessary to use simple straight forward business cards under perfect lighting conditions.  As it turned I ended up purchasing a different program which works sooooo much better!  Seems the developers are satisfied with a below average app as no updates have offered that I'm aware of.

I wanted this app to send greeting cards and this program sux! I'm using a tour 9630. U have to download ur own image and then it wouldn't let me add or remove text to it. I wasted $4.99 and I'm letting you know so u don't waste ur money.
Not Bad

Works about as well as I expected. It's best to keep the image as clear as possible. Since this app sends snaps to their server for processing I would imagine that improvements to the recognition can happen in the background.

Not sure what others are complaining about. This works awesome on my tour.

I've been looking for something like this for a while so thanks.

Only feature request I would ask for is the ability to add "notes" because I write where I met folks but other than that, its great!
