Android Open Source Business Card Reader

Question

What open source business card reader applications are available for Android?

I would like to be able to snap a picture of the card or scan it and import it into my contacts/address book.

I would prefer not to depend on the business card format, using a QR code or any other specific technology dependency.

No single open source app exists, but a unified workflow does:

Open OCR Test
Use the integrated picture-taking option for Open Note Scanner to scan your document and feed that picture back to OCR Test.
Long-press to copy recognized text and paste it into your vcard creator software.

ocr test link is dead, seems to be no longer on fdroid but apparently on google play play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.sfsu.cs.orange.ocr. Also can you give an example for the vcard creator software? – user2740 Apr 20 '18 at 23:53
