Why Teams Choose Exporb for Card Scanning
A lead capture system for trade shows, not just a scanner.
AI Extraction
Snap a card and AI extracts up to 25 fields: name, email, phone, company, title, Telegram, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, WeChat, more. No typing.
QR Code Scanning
Automatically detects and decodes every QR code on the card — LinkedIn, WhatsApp, WeChat, vCard, MECARD, and any URL. Multi-QR support with triple-fallback detection.
Multi-Language Support
AI reads cards in English, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, German, and more. Mixed-language cards work too.
Complete Lead Capture
Card scanning is part of a guided 3-step popup flow after recording: selfie capture (or skip), business card photo (or skip), then optional free-text notes. Each step appears in sequence. The whole flow takes seconds.
Smart Data Processing
Extracts company domains from emails, infers country from phone codes, auto-fills WhatsApp from phone numbers. Two-tier merge logic ensures QR data fills gaps without overwriting OCR results.
High Accuracy
AI handles different card layouts, fonts, and designs. Names, emails, phones, titles all extracted reliably.
Instant Team Sync
Every scanned card syncs to your team dashboard. No card gets lost in someone's pocket.
Works Offline
Capture card images without WiFi — saved to your device automatically. When back online, images sync to the cloud. AI extraction runs on-demand when you tap "AI Enrich." Built for trade show floors.
25 Fields Extracted Per Card
Most scanner apps extract the standard vCard set: name, title, company, phone, email, website, and address. That's roughly 7-10 fields. Exporb extracts 25 fields including 11 social media profiles. If it's on the card, Exporb captures it.
Social & Messaging (11 platforms)
QR Code Scanning, Built In
Many business cards include QR codes for social profiles, websites, or digital business cards. Exporb decodes them all.
How It Works
Snap the business card — same as before, one photo
QR codes detected automatically — no extra step needed
Social profiles extracted — LinkedIn, WeChat, Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.
Merged with OCR data — QR data fills in fields that text OCR might miss
Multi-QR Support
Cards with multiple QR codes are fully supported. Each QR code is decoded independently and the data is merged — e.g., QR 1 = LinkedIn, QR 2 = WeChat, QR 3 = company website.
QR Formats Supported
Triple-Fallback Detection
If one method fails, the next one tries. QR codes are decoded even from blurry, angled, or poorly lit photos.
Smart Data Processing
Exporb does more than raw OCR. Every contact is cleaned up, filled in, and merged.
Domain Extraction
Email sarah@techventures.io automatically extracts company domain techventures.io. Free email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and 30+ more) are filtered out.
Country Inference
When a phone number includes a country code (+86, +971, +55, etc.), Exporb infers the country automatically — even if it's not printed on the card.
WhatsApp Auto-Fill
If a phone number is on the card but no WhatsApp is specified, Exporb copies the phone number to the WhatsApp field — because in most markets, the phone number IS the WhatsApp number.
Two-Tier Merge
When both QR code and printed text are available: core fields (name, email, phone) use QR/vCard data (it's typed, not OCR'd). Social fields fill-only — never overwrite existing data.
How It Works
From conversation to CRM contact in four simple steps.
Record the Conversation
Start by recording your conversation with a new contact. Exporb captures voice notes so you never lose context. When you stop recording, the guided capture flow begins automatically.
Take a Selfie
A selfie prompt appears right after recording. Snap a quick photo with your contact or skip — either way, the next step follows in under a second. Helps you put a face to the name when following up.
Snap the Business Card
The card capture popup appears next. Photograph their business card (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC — up to 50 MB). Add optional notes in the final step. The image saves locally, so no WiFi needed.
AI Enriches & Exports
Tap "AI Enrich" to extract up to 25 fields from the card. Text via OCR plus QR codes decoded automatically. Social profiles, vCard/MECARD data, and printed text are merged. Review and edit, then share via email or export as PDF, CSV, or JSON.
Part of the Full Lead Capture Flow
Business card scanning is one piece. Exporb captures voice, photo, card, and notes in a single guided flow.
Voice Recording
Record your conversation and AI summarizes key points, action items, and sentiment — so you never forget what was discussed.
Voice NotesSelfie Capture
Snap a photo with your contact right after recording. Puts a face to the name when you follow up days later.
Lead CaptureAI Lead Scoring
Every contact gets an AI-generated lead score based on conversation content, title, company size, and engagement signals.
AI Lead ScoringExport to CRM
Send contacts via email or export as PDF, CSV, JSON — ready for Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, or any CRM.
Export DataWhat Makes Exporb Different
Most card scanners stop at basic text capture. Exporb does more.
25 fields from one photo
Name, email, phone, company, title — plus 11 social platforms, domain, city, and country. All from a single card image.
QR + OCR merged
Multi-QR decoding with triple-fallback detection. QR data and printed text are merged using two-tier logic, no duplicates, no overwrites.
Smart enrichment built in
Domain extraction from emails (with free provider filtering), country inference from phone codes, and WhatsApp auto-fill from phone numbers.
Full lead context, not just a contact
Voice recording, selfie, conversation summary, lead score, and notes — all attached to the same contact. Not just a name and number.
Works offline, syncs later
Card images saved locally without WiFi. AI extraction runs on-demand when you choose. Built for trade show floors with spotty connectivity.
No app install required
Exporb works in any browser — iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop. No App Store download needed to start capturing leads.
Exporb vs. Typical Card Scanners
Most scanners give you a name and email. Exporb gives you a complete lead.
Business Card Scanner FAQ
Exporb uses AI to extract up to 25 structured fields from every card: full name, first name, last name, title, department, company, domain, website, email, phone, WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, WeChat, LINE, Signal, Microsoft Teams, address, city, and country. It handles icons, QR codes, and multilingual layouts without trouble.
Yes. Exporb automatically detects and decodes every QR code on the card — LinkedIn profiles, WhatsApp links, WeChat IDs, vCard/MECARD digital cards, and any URL. Cards with multiple QR codes are fully supported. Uses a triple-fallback system (BarcodeDetector API, ZXing WASM, jsQR) so QR codes are decoded even from blurry, angled, or poorly lit photos.
Exporb uses AI to read business cards in any language: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, and more. Mixed-language cards work too.
Yes. Exporb saves card images on your device right away, no internet needed. When you reconnect, everything syncs. AI extraction happens when you tap "AI Enrich," so you control when credits are used. Useful when the venue WiFi is spotty.
Yes. Send any contact to yourself or your prospect via email with all details included. Export contacts as PDF, CSV, or JSON — ready to import into Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, or any CRM. Each contact includes all extracted fields plus any notes, voice memos, or photos you attached.
Exporb extracts 25 fields including 11 social media profiles directly from the card. It decodes QR codes (multi-QR support), extracts company domains from emails, infers country from phone codes, and auto-fills WhatsApp from phone numbers. But the biggest difference is that card scanning is part of a full lead capture flow: voice recording, selfie, AI lead scoring, conversation summary, and team sync. It is not a standalone scanner.
Exporb does more than raw OCR. It extracts company domains from email addresses (filtering out 30+ free email providers like Gmail and Yahoo). It infers country from phone country codes. It auto-fills WhatsApp from phone numbers. When both QR and OCR data exist, a two-tier merge fills in gaps from QR codes without overwriting what OCR already got right.
All data is encrypted in transit via TLS and encrypted at rest via Supabase managed encryption. Row-Level Security on every table prevents cross-tenant access. You own your data and can export or delete it any time. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
Exporb supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats, so photos from any smartphone camera work. Maximum file size is 50 MB per image. When you capture a card through the app, images are compressed as JPEG at 0.85 quality to save storage while keeping text readable.
Business card extraction is included in the AI enrichment step — it costs 1 credit per contact. The free plan includes 10 AI credits per month, which covers 10 full enrichments (card extraction, conversation summary, and lead scoring combined). Paid plans include unlimited credits, so you can scan as many cards as you need at trade shows.
After capture, each contact gets a detail page showing the card image (tap to expand), all extracted fields you can edit (name, company, email, phone, title), your selfie, conversation summary, and any notes. You can fix or add fields, and attach more card images later via the upload button. Useful when a contact hands you a second card.
Offline, Exporb instantly captures the QR code data (vCard, MECARD, or social profile links) on the device. Once the device reconnects, the AI runs full OCR on the card image and merges the result with the QR data using a two-tier strategy that fills gaps without overwriting verified fields.
No. Exporb runs an anti-prompt-injection layer on every business card scan. Embedded instructions printed on adversarial cards (text designed to manipulate a language model) are stripped before the OCR result reaches downstream prompts. The model only sees clean field data.
Every prompt includes anti-hallucination guardrails. If a field is unclear or missing, the AI returns null instead of guessing. This is the same safety layer used on conversation analysis, documented on the AI conversation analysis page.
