We’re pleased to announce that the first OCR (Optical Character Recognition) app for the iPhone, Snabiz is now live in the App Store.

It took over 3 months for us to get it submitted (in the meantime we improved graphics and did some more finetuning), but it’s finally there. With Snabiz, you can take pictures of anything which contains text, and convert that into new or existing Contacts.

We really hope you enjoy Snabiz as much as we do – we’ve put a lot of thought and effort into it. Please let us know what you think and give us suggestions for new features.

You can find out more about Snabiz here or get it now from the App Store.

Please note that if you want to take sharp (and usefull!) pictures of businesscards, you do need a special lens in front as the iPhone is currently not capable of taking sharp pictures with its own lens. We suggest the Clarify from Griffin Technology.
