Trade show cards — into a contact list

After a conference or expo — a pile of cards. Photo a card — one row: name, title, company, phone, email. Export to Excel, your CRM, or Google Contacts.

File deleted within an hour · No card — 40 recognitions/month after sign-up · Pay by card from your account

Sound familiar?

  • Cards sit for a month until someone volunteers to type them.
  • You need fast follow-up but the cards are still in a jacket pocket.
  • No scanner at the booth — only a phone.

Common questions

Several cards in one photo?

One card per upload works best for clean rows.

Do I need to review the output?

Yes. Toolsy speeds up typing, not judgment — especially names, numbers, and totals.

Can I try without a card?

Yes. After sign-up you get an API key with 40 recognitions per month. For steady volume, pick a plan in your account.

Ready to try on your documents?

Start with one file in the tool — no card. For your site or app, set up the API in your account: instant key, 40 free recognitions/month after sign-up.
