You can use DejaOffice together with an application called CamCard to turn your business cards into contact records in DejaOffice. Here's how:

DejaOffice for iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini

Step 1: Install CamCard & create new contacts in the Apple Contacts app.

  1. Install the CamCard application from the App Store
  2. Using the "Take a Photo" feature, photograph a business card and hit Save to generate a new contact.
  3. Choose the Contact Account you want to save the card to. The default here is 'On My iPhone/iPad'


Step 2: Synchronize DejaContacts with the Apple Contacts app

  1. Open DejaOffice Settings > Sync > Tap to select Sync with Apple's Contacts
  2. Under Sync with Apple's Contacts, tap on Sync Settings
  3. Select the same account that you selected to save the CamCard record to. The default account name is 'On My iPhone/iPad'
  4. Each time you open DejaOffice, you'll see the synchronization with the Apple Contacts app running, which will import any record saved using CamCard



DejaOffice for Android

Step 1: Install CamCard & create new contacts in the Android Contacts app.

  1. Install the CamCard application from the Google Play Store
  2. Using the "Take a Photo" feature, photograph a business card and hit Save to generate a new contact
  3. Tap on 'Save to account' to choose what account to save the photo to. We recommend you choose the DejaOffice account
  • Note: If you do not have access to the Google Play Store, you can download the application directly from the CamCard website

Step 2: Synchronize DejaContacts with the Android Contacts app

  1. Open DejaOffice Settings > Sync Settings > Check to Sync with Android Contacts
