How to Migrate from ABBYY to Covve

Ending a product’s life is not a rare or sparse occurrence, however it is always shocking to the industry. In the card reading software market, one leading provider recently announced that it will discontinue support, new subscriptions, and in-app purchases for its FineReader PDF for Mobile and Business Card Reader for Android users, Text Grabber for both iOS and Android.

The software company also noted that the Business Card Reader for iOS no longer supports syncing for scanned business cards, limiting its use and support for Apple users. If you haven’t guessed it, ABBYY, the multinational software company specializing in optical character recognition (OCR), has discontinued support for its business card scanner app as of August 17th.

The ABBYY card scanner app for Android users was officially removed from the Google Play store as of the 18th of September, leaving users seeking alternatives. It is crucial to persist in networking endeavors. Adapting to new software and networking practices necessitates the selection of an alternative card scanner app to maintain established habits and workflows.

Why Move From ABBYY to Covve?

In finding a suitable alternative to the discontinued ABBYY card scanner software, professionals can turn to existing comparisons and studies to find one that suits their needs. Capacitor Partners, a prominent firm specializing in digital transformation and product management, conducted a study in 2022 to evaluate cutting-edge card scanner apps on the market.

The research involved a comparison of features and functionalities among five card scanner apps, including ABBYY, BizConnect, CamCard, and Covve. While Covve’s card scanner demonstrated superior efficiency, effectiveness, and user-friendliness, the other alternatives remain viable choices for individuals seeking networking solutions that align with their specific requirements.

The study highlighted that Covve offers a free trial of its card scanner and provides the option to purchase for expanded functionality within the application. Notable distinctions include Covve’s ability to scan business cards with greater accuracy and speed, as opposed to other providers.

Furthermore, Covve offers quicker scan processing times and seamless integration with a broader suite of Covve tools, encompassing personal CRM and digital business card applications.
