Scan any business card — even if you don't understand the language
You just met someone. Their card is in Hindi, Arabic, or Japanese. You don't read it — but you still need to follow up.

Why most business card scanners fail outside English
- ✕Latin-only OCR mangles non-Latin scripts
- ✕Mixed scripts (English + Hindi on the same card) confuse most apps
- ✕Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) get reversed or skipped
- ✕Non-standard layouts get misread as a single block
- ✕Result: broken names, missing fields, useless contacts

Auto-detect, then verify
- Detection happens on-device for privacy
- User can override the detected language with one tap
- Native script preserved in the contact record
A clean capture, every time — even on a busy conference floor
- On-device edge detection finds the card and auto-crops it — no fumbling to line up a frame, no background clutter in the shot
- Steadiness-aware auto-capture waits until the phone is still, then fires on its own, so the image is sharp instead of motion-blurred
- Captures two addresses from one card — head office and factory/branch land as separate fields instead of a jumbled block
- Conference-burst mode: scan a stack back-to-back, tag them all at once, review later
- Works on iOS and Android
What happens after the scan
- Instant AI follow-up draft — a ready-to-send email, LinkedIn message, and WhatsApp note are written for you the moment the contact is saved
- One-tap WhatsApp, call, or SMS straight from the contact (it picks the mobile number, not the desk line)
- Free enrichment fills in the company logo, name, and LinkedIn link automatically; deeper data (headcount, funding) is one tap away
- Voice note after a meeting → transcribed and summarized into the contact so you remember who they actually were
- Export your whole contact list to Excel or vCard whenever you want — your data is never locked in
Frequently asked
Can it scan mixed-language cards?▾
Yes. A card with English on one side and Hindi (or Arabic, or Chinese) on the other is fully captured — both scripts go into the saved contact record without you having to choose between them.
Does it translate or preserve the original script?▾
It preserves the original script. The address in Hindi stays in Hindi, the name in Arabic stays in Arabic. We don't transliterate without your consent because transliteration loses information.
Does it work offline?▾
Language detection runs on-device, so basic capture works offline. The full save-to-contact flow needs a connection for the first scan; cached scans sync once you're back online.
Can I export to a CRM?▾
Yes. NexaLink contacts export to Salesforce, HubSpot, and a generic CSV. Mixed-language fields export as-is — your CRM may or may not handle non-Latin scripts well, depending on its locale.
How accurate is the Hindi / Arabic / Chinese OCR?▾
Directionally: name + phone + email are captured correctly on >90% of well-printed cards. Address fields and handwritten elements are lower. We're conservative on accuracy claims because card quality varies enormously.
What happens with handwritten cards?▾
OCR handles printed text well; handwriting is unreliable across all apps including ours. If a card is handwritten, you'll see the extracted text in a confirmation step where you can correct before saving.
Privacy — where do my scans live?▾
On-device first. The scan image and extracted text sync to your encrypted NexaLink cloud only after you save the contact. You can delete a scan; the original image is purged within 7 days of deletion.
iOS only?▾
iOS is fully supported with all 38 languages. Android supports the same 38 languages on devices running Android 10+; older devices fall back to a smaller set.
Do I have to line up the card in a frame?▾
No. On-device edge detection finds the card edges and auto-crops it, and steadiness-aware capture waits until your phone is still before it fires — so you get a sharp, cropped image without manually framing or tapping at the right moment.
What does it cost?▾
Your first scan is free. After that NexaLink Scanner is a subscription with a 7-day free trial — Pro is $1.99/month and Premium (AI follow-up drafts, voice notes, deep enrichment) is $2.99/month. You can export your contacts to Excel or vCard at any time, so your data is never locked in.
