How to scan and save business card info to your smartphone

Just a reminder that Google Goggles can scan a business card and save the information from the card as contact information on your smartphone--or at least on the Android smartphone. (I haven't tried this on the iPhone.) Once you launch Google Goggles, simply take a photo of the business card. The app will scan the card and convert the scanned image into text to save into your smartphone's contacts.

Here is my business card that I scanned with Google Goggles:



And here are the scan results, which I can now save to my smartphone's contacts.
