PEOPLE & PRIVATE MEMORY
Scan a business card, badge, QR code, or page
One scanner, four modes. It prepares a draft for you to review — it does not save on its own.
Cresca has one scanner. Point it at a paper card, a conference badge, a QR code, or a page of text, and it prepares something for you to review. It does not silently save the result.
How to do it
- 1
Open the scanner
On the home screen, tap + and choose Scan. From the People list, Add people → Scan opens the same screen.
- 2
Leave it on Auto, or pick a mode
Auto sorts out what it is looking at. The four modes are Event Badge, Paper Card, QR Code, and Text — picking one shapes the viewfinder for that thing and stops the guessing.
- 3
Use a clear image
Keep the card flat, fill the frame, and avoid glare or deep shadows. The flashlight toggle is on the scan screen.
- 4
Wait for the draft
Cresca reads the text and organizes it into contact fields.
- 5
Review every field
Correct the name, email, phone, title, organization, and notes before saving.
What each mode is for
- Event Badge — a conference badge. Captures name and company; Cresca fills in the rest.
- Paper Card — an ordinary business card.
- QR Code — a Cresca badge connects instantly; other codes are handled too.
- Text — a page, a slide, a poster. Captures the words rather than a contact.
