We will probably agree that without quality text recognition, apps in this category simply won’t be useful. You may have needs other than mine, and I won’t be touching on all of each app’s features, so be sure to check out each of these on your own to make your own decision. Once I began looking at the apps, there were several more criteria that were important to me: accuracy of text recognition ease-of-use and breadth of contact sharing options. There may be some good apps that didn’t make this cut (I’m looking at you, WorldCard Mobile), but I’m trying to increase the chances that the app I (and you) choose will be supported when new devices and OSes are released.
