Abstract
Business cards have been widely used to greet business professionals and exchange contact information. However, the current paper-based way to manage business cards impedes their effective usage, leading to a need for digitalising and extracting business card information. This paper aims to design a business card reader (BCR) application for Android devices. Based on Google vision library, the application digitalises and extracts business card information. We evaluate the application on a dataset of 170 business cards. The results show that the application can digitalise business cards and extract contact information with 88.4% of accuracy. We then further conduct a comparative analysis of our application and other commercial BCR applications. Based on the results, the paper suggests several recommendations for future research.
