AmbirScan Business Card
Users who have not purchased an Ambir scanner with AmbirScan Business Card will be able to access 10
free trial scans with the business card scanning functionality. Otherwise, only users who purchased

users to scan business cards and will extract pertinent data from the card using Optical Character

exported to a CSV file for easy reference.
