How it works
From a stack of business cards to follow-ups that happen.
-
01 / 07 · Scan
Point at the card. The fields fill themselves.
The scanner finds the edges, straightens the card and reads it on your phone. Name, designation, company, mobile, office number, email, website and address land in the right fields in a second or two.
- Front and back, or a photo from your gallery
- Unsure fields are highlighted for you to check
- Tap any word on the card to drop it into a field
-
02 / 07 · Batch
Back from an expo? Scan the whole stack.
Batch scan reads up to 30 cards in one go. Apply one folder, tag and follow-up to all of them, check the ones marked for review and save everything together.
-
03 / 07 · Organise
Keep every event in its own folder.
Create folders like “Mumbai Expo Oct 2026” or “Suppliers”, add tags such as Lead, Client or Hot, and Patrascan also groups cards by when you met: this week, this month, earlier.
-
04 / 07 · Follow up
Never let a good lead go cold.
Set a follow-up while you save the card: later today, tomorrow at 10, in 3 days, next week or any time, with a note. The reminder arrives with Call, WhatsApp, Snooze and Done buttons.
-
05 / 07 · Act
Call or WhatsApp in one tap.
Every card has Call, WhatsApp, Email, SMS, Maps and Save to phone. WhatsApp opens with a ready greeting, “Hi Priya, great meeting you at Mumbai Expo!”
-
06 / 07 · Find
Find anyone, even with half a number.
Search names, companies, phone numbers, emails, cities, tags and notes. It is instant and it works with no internet.
-
07 / 07 · Export
Send it to Excel when you are ready.
Export all cards, one folder or a date range to Excel, CSV or vCard, choose the columns and share it to email, WhatsApp, Drive or your CRM.
Private by design
Read on your phone
No AI on your cards
Works offline
Business cards hold other people’s personal details. Patrascan reads them with on-device text recognition and never sends card images or text to an AI service. Cloud backup is optional, and you can delete your account and data from the app at any time.

What is Patrascan?
Patrascan is a business card scanner app (also called a business card reader) for Android and iPhone that turns a business card, visiting card or name card into a saved phone contact in seconds. Point the camera at a card and the name, mobile number, email, company, designation, website and address fill in by themselves. You can then sort cards into folders, set a follow-up reminder and message the person on WhatsApp in one tap. It is made by TANTRIJA ENTERPRISES, a business registered in India, and is available worldwide.
Is Patrascan free?
Yes. Patrascan is a free business card scanner to start with: the free plan includes 15 card scans, 2 folders and 3 active follow-up reminders, with Save to phone, Call and WhatsApp on every card. Patrascan Pro adds more scans (50 a month for ₹149, 400 for ₹599 every 6 months, or 1,000 a year for ₹999), unlimited folders and reminders, batch scanning, Excel, CSV and vCard export, cloud backup and app lock. Outside India you pay the local price shown in the App Store or Google Play.
How accurate is the business card scanner?
Patrascan reads the card with Google ML Kit text recognition (OCR) on your phone and then uses rules to put each line in the right field: names, designations, company names (Ltd, LLC, Inc, Pvt Ltd, LLP and more), emails, websites and phone numbers. Numbers written with a country code (such as +1, +44 or +971) are read for any country, and numbers without one are read as numbers from your phone’s region. Indian STD landlines and 6-digit PIN codes are handled especially well. Clear printed cards usually need no edits. Any field it is unsure about is highlighted for you to check, and you can tap a word on the card image to drop it into a field. Glossy, very dark or handwritten cards may need a quick correction.
Does Patrascan work without internet?
Yes. Scanning, reading the card, saving, searching, folders and reminders all work offline because everything runs on your phone. If you use cloud backup (Pro), changes made offline are synced automatically when you are back online.
Does Patrascan upload my cards or use AI?
No. Cards are read on your phone with on-device text recognition; Patrascan does not send card images or card text to any AI service. Nothing leaves your phone unless you turn on cloud backup (Pro), which stores your contacts and card images on Patrascan’s own servers so you can restore them on a new phone.
Can I export business cards to Excel?
Yes. With Patrascan Pro you can export all cards, one folder or a date range to Excel (.xlsx), CSV or vCard (.vcf), choose the columns, and share the file to email, WhatsApp, Google Drive or your CRM.
How do follow-up reminders work?
When you save a card, pick a reminder such as Later today, Tomorrow at 10 AM, In 3 days, Next week or a custom date and time, and add a note like “Share price list”. Reminders can repeat weekly or monthly. When it is due you get a notification with Call, WhatsApp, Snooze and Done buttons, so you can follow up without opening the app. You can also set one reminder for a whole folder, such as everyone you met at an expo.
