Haystack uses the world's most reliable AI technology to extract text from the business cards you scan in every language. When a high-quality photo is taken, we expect an accuracy rate of 98-99%.
If you experience lower accuracy, follow these simple tips to improve your scanning results.
1. Ensure the Text is Clear & Sharp
Always check that the text on the card is not blurry before scanning.
If the text appears blurry, move your phone slightly farther away until it becomes sharp.
2. Optimize Lighting Conditions
Avoid glare or reflections on the card’s surface—if necessary, tilt the camera slightly to reduce reflections.
Make sure the card is well-lit but not overexposed by harsh lighting.
Eliminate shadows, especially those from your hand or phone. If shadows appear, adjust the angle of your shot.
3. Position the Card Correctly
Place the card on a flat, contrasting background to help the AI "see" the edges.
Keep the card within the camera’s frame without excessive background space.
Try to keep the card as straight as possible, though minor angles are okay if needed to avoid glare.
By following these simple adjustments, you get the best results when digitizing your business cards.
