Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the scanning?

It depends on print quality and light, so NexaLink shows you what it read before you save and flags anything it isn't sure about. We don't publish a single accuracy percentage.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Capture and on-device text recognition work without a connection; anything that needs the cloud runs when you're back online.

Which CRMs does it work with?

Any CRM that imports CSV or vCard — Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive and others. Direct HubSpot, Zoho CRM and Salesforce sync is coming soon; it is not available to connect yet.
