How to Scan Business Cards in Bulk
To scan business cards in bulk, use batch mode to capture one card after another. Review the saved contacts. Then export them as CSV. Batch mode keeps the camera active. Capture one card at a time.
How do I scan a stack of business cards?
- Place the cards on a flat surface with clear light.
- Open Settings in Folocard.
- Turn on batch mode in the capture settings.
- Open the card scanner.
- Place one card in the camera frame.
- Wait for the capture before you replace it with the next card.
- Continue until you finish the stack.
- Review the saved contacts against their card images.
Batch mode records the session pace in cards per minute. Use that measure to compare your own sessions. It does not guarantee a fixed scanning speed.
What must I check after bulk scanning?
Check each name, email address, phone number, and company. Look for duplicate contacts and missing fields. Rotate a card or change the light if its text is unclear.
Text recognition can make mistakes. Review the contact before you use it for follow-up or import it into another system.
How do I export bulk business cards to Excel?
Open Settings. Select Export all to CSV in Data. The export contains all saved cards. Select a share destination. Check that the file arrived there.
Follow the Excel CSV import guide to import the contacts. Keep phone numbers as text.
Can I prepare follow-up after the scan session?
Add meeting notes while the conversation is fresh. Folocard uses the contact and context to prepare a follow-up draft with an on-device model. You review the draft before sending it through your chosen app.
Capture and text recognition run on the device. Optional web research and model downloads use network access. See the privacy policy for the separate network controls.
The old Skip Compose setting and Zapier instructions do not describe this workflow. See the current features for the supported actions.
