Scan business cards: Error image type

Posted on by 20

I set up a new trial instance this week and am trying to get the Business Card Scanning to work in this trial instance but all I get are errors. 

I get errors on both methods:

Phone App on and iPhone: Image type not supported, please us JPEG, PNG or BMP images

Web where I import a JPG picture of a card: Just simply fails to read the JPEG

The app seems to be using it’s own camera app but just in cases I change the default on the iPhone Camera App.

How to Make iPhone Camera Shoot JPEG Pictures in iOS 12 & iOS 11

After version 11 by default iPhone capture pictures in HEIF format

  • I followed these instructions to change the phone default format and it still gave me an error.
  • I rebooted the phone: Still received error

  

Enable or disable saving of business card image

  • I turned this off and still get the exact same error

    I'm running into this myself.  It works when uploading an image directly from my computer that was sent from my phone, but fails when taking a picture from my phone.  This happens even after changing the format.  Would be interesting to see what the solution is.
