The Advantage of Multimodal AI
Unlike traditional OCR, Gemini understands context. Even if the text on the card is very small or placed at the bottom, the AI can identify formats (such as email symbols or phone icons) to categorize information correctly.
Image Quality Tip
Ensure the lighting is sufficient and avoid glare on glossy business card surfaces so the AI doesn't misread digits or characters in the email address.
