CardMunch is a mobile business card transcription service that leverages the human power to accurately digitize contact information.
The CardMunch application automatically recognizes, captures, transcribes, and creates the contact in the user's phone, straight from a business card. Instead of relying on Optical Character Recognition
(OCR), CardMunch uses a scalable human workforce to transcribe each business card and verify the accuracy of the transcription before returning them to the mobile phone as a contact.
The service is available on the iPhone today. Support for other mobile platforms will come soon.
