Zappoint Labs - Use High Contrast Background For Scanning Business Cards
Scanning apps sometimes have trouble recognizing the boundaries of a business card when the background is very similar to the card itself. In times like these you can use your business planner or anything else that is high contrast as a background. With Zappoint, even your hand will do.
Zappoint Labs - Scan Without Shadows
This quick video from our labs (aka coffee room) shows you how to avoid shadows when scanning in your business cards. This is helpful for Zappoint or for any other business card scanning app you might be using (of course we believe Zappoint is the best and you should be using it). The problem with shadows is that they cause problems with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which means that your business card scanning app will make mistakes when translating the image it captur
