For India–Japan business
Contacts for India–Japan business, correct in both languages
Meishio reads Japanese and English business cards and keeps each person correct in the address book you already use.
The problem
Two languages, two number formats, one messy address book
A meeting in Tokyo or Bengaluru leaves you with cards in Japanese, English or both. Typing them in by hand splits one person into two contacts, loses the reading of a name, and saves numbers without +81 or +91.
A few months later the same people have new titles or new companies, and your phone still shows the old ones.
How Meishio helps
Three steps
Scan the cards
Photograph the stack, up to 12 cards to a photo. Meishio reads Japanese and English, keeps 田中 結衣 and Yui Tanaka as one person, and reads titles such as 部長.
Clean the address book
The address-book check adds missing +91 and +81 country codes, merges duplicates you confirm, and marks work and personal emails.
Send them back
Contacts go to Google Contacts, to your iPhone as a vCard, or to Outlook, with both scripts on the one contact.
What stays private
- Your contacts are private to your account and stored in Singapore.
- Meishio changes the contacts already in your Google account only with fixes you approve, and never deletes them.
- Follow-ups open as drafts in your own Gmail, WhatsApp or LINE; you press send.
Questions
Does Meishio keep the Japanese and English name together?
Yes. A bilingual card becomes one contact with the Japanese name, its reading where the card gives one, and the English name.
Can it add +81 and +91 to numbers saved without them?
Yes. The address-book check suggests the full international number for business contacts, and you approve each fix before it is written to Google Contacts.
Can I follow up on LINE?
Yes. Meishio writes a short draft and opens it in LINE, WhatsApp or Gmail. It never sends a message for you.
