Hey everyone, I'm Yiannis, co-founder at Covve. At Covve we are obsessed with helping people better manage their relationships to create business opportunities. So, being frustrated with the business card scanners in the market - inaccurate, complex, expensive, not respecting user privacy - we decided to take matters into our own hands! It started off as a pet project for our engineering team who were challenged to find a completely new approach to scanning business cards. They did; and, it rocked! We were both ecstatic and surprised when our unique take on card scanning led to something truly disruptive and miles ahead of the competition. Covve Scan: - is the most accurate business card scanner in the market! - automatically reads any left to right language - respects and protects of your privacy (no data is ever shared, sold or repurposed) - designed to be super intuitive and efficient to use What’s more? It is the most affordable in the market with a one-off fee for unlimited card scans! As a big thank you to the community we’re delighted to offer one month free of unlimited scans for everyone here. Just visit: https://covve.com/promo?code=HUN... Happy scanning!

Really cool app, made the task of scanning a bunch of my cards super easy :)

@spirosd Hi Spiros, great to hear :) Actually we've had people who within 24 hours of installing the app have scanned over 1000 cards! Thinking about it, for this kind of scenario (scan all those cards you've been hoarding in your draw for years), the 1 month free offer that Yiannis posted above is spot on!

@aprotog Awesome!

Covve without a doubt has the best OCR I've ever witnessed. Every other card scanner that I've tried (and note that I have tried a lot) fails at scanning the most basic cards even when set to only recognize English. Meanwhile Covve doesn't even care about the language or languages on a card. It recognizes EVERYTHING. With that said it's kind of crazy that you can only scan cards by using your phone's camera. you cannot import any photos that you've already taken. I'm not a developer myself so forgive me if I'm underestimating the effort required to build this feature. But all sorts of badly-made photo editing applications allow the user to import photos from the library so I wonder why Covve cannot. The thing is that it's almost always faster to take a photo using the phone's built-in camera application since there's almost always a faster way to launch it from the lock screen.

@anna_0x Hi Anna! Wow, really glad you like Covve Scan :) I must say we are super proud of it! Now, what you request is very reasonable indeed and something we've heard a few times already. Its actually on our list of potential developments. If you'd like I'd really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to cast your vote on what you'd like us to work on for Covve Scan going forwards (in addition to the point you made). Here's the 2 minute survey: https://covve.typeform.com/to/Xy...

@aprotog I'd already done that since I saw the type for me in another comment 😁 I don't understand why it's still under consideration though. Isn't it an obviously necessary feature? Literally every app in every app store that has any relation to scanning it photo editing has that feature. I can't believe I'm even explaining why it's necessary.

@anna_0x Hi Anna, I probably wasn't clear enough. What you request makes a lot of sense and is on the list - no discussion. I just wanted to hear what *else* you'd like to see - which you also did, many thanks for that!

@aprotog ahaaa well, in that case, that’s great! 😃 I’m looking forward to the update.

Hi everyone! Alex here, CTO at Covve. This really has one of my favorite projects as it grew straight out of the engineering team (born as a pet project and quickly found its way as a proper standalone product)! The most impressive outcome has been that our scanner is the only one out there which can scan ANY left-to-right language with exceptional accuracy. We haven't tested every single language so really keen to hear how it performs for you! Especially interested to hear thoughts and impressions if you've been using some of the usual mainstream scanners out there :)

@adam_petritsis Hey Adam, great to hear! Make sure to take advantage of the special product hunt offer Yiannis mentioned above :)

Nice clean app, very good card recognition. I've had some problems with it mixing up the information. E.g. second headline became the address, only takes part of position title, etc. I'm sure, this will improve with time. I see this being very useful!

@elshad_shirinov Good stuff - thanks for the feedback Elshad! What you describe is quite rare - in our sample tests with thousands of cards from many languages we score >90% in accuracy (with the big maintream scanners scoring 60-80% on the same tests!). You know, I'd really be interested in having a look at the card and seeing why the scan wasn't perfect... As we don't have access to anyone's scans (privacy is a massive thing for us!) could you possibly ask to have a look at the card (assuming you're OK and of course the person who's card it is is also OK). If so, feel free to email me at alex@covve.com Thanks!

Finally, some1 made app as it should be! Will reccomend it to all my BNI network! Great job!

@maksims_kus Hey, thanks! You know I think part of the "magic formula" that led to this app was that there wasn't any specific pressure (like deadlines, user numbers, revenues etc) other than see how far we can push the tech and create something that people will love. It makes a big difference :)

Such a great idea! Super easy and nice design too!
