After information recognition press "Merge with existing contact" button in "New contact" dialog.
Existing information will be saved.
After information recognition press "View recognized info as plain text" button in "New contact".
This is a temporary contact. It will be removed automatically after you finish editing new contact.
As iPod Touch doesn't have built-in camera, you may recognize business cards only from saved images.
Please note that iPad 2 camera does not have autofocus, so picture quality is not good enough for text recognition.
On iPad you may only recognize business cards saved in device memory.
