A vCard is an electronic data format for representing
business card information. It is a formal
standard that is described in RFC
6350. It stores your contact information: name, email,
phone number and more. vCard data can be encoded into QR codes
that can be printed on a business card and read by the
Digit-Eyes app on your iPhone and by other apps that
understand the vCard data format.
vCards are a great way to share your contact information
and to get contact information about other people. When you
have a scannable vCard QR code on your email or business card,
this enables people to add you to their contacts or address
book with a single click.
And when you scan a vCard with Digit-Eyes, saving the
information in an accessible format in your contacts is a
snap!

Data in the vCard format is stored text file according to

majority of applications and mobile devices. When
