HOW TO GET GOOD RECOGNITION RESULTS

1. Place the business card on a flat surface.

2. Good lighting is key: bright desk lamp or direct sunlight are necessary.

3. With the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the new iPad make sure the camera is focused on the business card. Older models of iPhone require additional third-party macro lenses.

4. Hold the device right above the card. Keep the card aligned with BCR viewfinder edges and adjust iPhone/iPad positioning so that the card fits the screen size.

5. Tap the screen to take the picture.

6. After the recognition is done, you can check the results.

7. Tap Save to add the contact into your iOS address book.
