Offline business card scanner ships with privacy as the main feature
Kauntech is a business card scanner that reads and saves contact details on the phone itself. OCR happens fully on-device, so the card image and extracted data do not need to pass through an outside server. Scanning, processing, and saving work without an internet connection.
Contact data stays in unless the user chooses to sync it. By default, nothing leaves the phone. Users can later sync or export the contact to a CRM, Sheets, WhatsApp, or Telegram.
India’s made this design choice more important, because sending business card data to a server can create a privacy risk. The app launched on the and App Store last week and recently finished a launch.
