Readdle

Card Scanner Pro for iPhone now available (DON'T POST UNTIL TUESDAY)

By Leanna Lofte, Tuesday, Aug 9, 2011 a 9:23 pm

Readdle, the developer behind PDF Expert and ReaddleDocs, has released their new business app, Card Scanner Pro. It's purpose is to scan business cards by taking their pictures and storing the information as contacts.

Take a picture of a business card with the iPhone camera and automatically pull all the data from it to create a new contact in the iPhone Contacts. Scanning takes 3 seconds and the accuracy is as great as you expect.

Scan and import the business card - With a simple snap of your iPhone, Card Scanner transfers the contact information directly into your iPhone's address book.
Review and Edit information - While reviewing and editing the contact information, the app displays a cropped image from the business card and reflects where that information comes from. This makes the verification and the correction effortless.
Browse stored business cards - Browse business cards in Card Holder, where all scanned cards are stored and do what you may ever need: edit contact information, email a text, call or simply delete the card.
OCR Makes it perfect - Fast and accurate ABBYY's OCR technology does a perfect job. All fields will be immediately filled with the proper data pulled from the card.

Card Scanner Pro is available on the iPhone for $6.99. Screenshots after the break.

Convert documents into PDFs with PDF Converter for iPad

By Leanna Lofte, Tuesday, Jul 12, 2011 a 9:28 am

Readdle has released their new iPad app, PDF Converter.

PDF Converter lets you transform any file you have on the iPad into a PDF document whenever you need it. Everything from a multi-million contract to a web page you want to read later can be saved as a PDF in several taps.

Make PDFs from:

Email Attachments
iWork and MS Office documents
Web pages
Files from other applications
Clipboard content
Photos
Documents on Dropbox and MobileMe iDisk
Contacts

I keep my PDFs organized in iBooks, and PDF Converter is the perfect companion. There are many times I come across something on the web that I want to save for future reference, like a tutorial, but I also hate cluttering up my bookmarks. Now, I convert it into a PDF, send to iBook, and organize in there - simple, yet effective.

PDF Converter is available for $6.99. Screenshots after the break.

Developer Spotlight: Igor Zhadanov of Readdle

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Jun 27, 2011 a 2:28 pm

TiPb's developer spotlights are like DVD/iTunes Extras for the App Store -- a weekly look behind the scenes at the programers and designers that bring you the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad apps and games you love. This week Rene talks with Igor Zhadanov from Readdle.

What's your name? My name is Igor Zhadanov, I am the CEO and co-founder of Readdle.

What's your company's name? Readdle.

Why Readdle? Once the very first iPhone was released, we were thinking about the way to read books on it. There was no API nor AppStore, so we built a web service to store books online and access them via Mobile Safari. Back in the 2007 the term "cloud" wasn't a buzz word, and we were looking for something related to web 2.0 and reading. So we settled on "Readdle" as the name of the service. Later this turned into the company name.

Where are you located? We are based in Odessa, Ukraine.

What's your website address? http://readdle.com

What's your Twitter name? @readdle, most tweets are done by @denzhadanov
