What lands in Outlook
Every scan becomes a real Outlook record in native fields, tagged with the event. Anything without a standard field, like your notes or the intent score, arrives as a note on the same record.

Swopi AI
Swopi AI completes every lead before it reaches Outlook
A badge or a card often has only a name and a company. Swopi AI finds the rest in seconds, shows where each detail came from, and never overwrites what your team typed.
- Work email
- Direct phone
- Job title, seniority and LinkedIn
- Company website, industry, size and address
What Outlook does on its own
Outlook itself has no business card scanner today. Microsoft used to offer card scanning through the Microsoft Lens app, but it retired Lens in 2026 and points users to the OneDrive app, which scans documents as files, not as contacts (Microsoft Support). So to turn a card into an Outlook contact, you need a separate app.
Why teams add Swopi
- A contact, not a picture: Swopi saves name, email, phone, job title and company into the right Outlook fields.
- Badges and QR codes as well: scan event badges, LinkedIn QR codes and vCards, not only paper cards.
- Checked data: Swopi AI adds a verified business email and company details, so your first email reaches the right inbox.
- EU hosting: data stays in the EU under GDPR, with a DPA available.
Swopi and Outlook: questions
Can Outlook scan business cards?
Not on its own. Microsoft used to do this through Microsoft Lens, which it retired in 2026. To save a card as an Outlook contact, use a scanner app that syncs with Outlook, such as Swopi.
How do I scan business cards into Outlook contacts?
Connect Outlook in the Swopi dashboard, scan the card with the Swopi app, and the contact appears in Outlook with name, email, phone, job title and company filled in.
Can I export contacts as vCard instead?
Yes. Every Swopi lead can be saved as a vCard, which opens in Outlook, on iPhone and on Android.
Does it work for a whole sales team?
Yes. On the Teams plan every rep scans with the Swopi app, and at events the booth manager sees every lead live in Event Mode. See Swopi for teams.
