I would think that it could be possible.
But then you have to think about the fact
that the business card is usually held kinda close,
and then it scans it.
So since you'd have to hold the phone farther away to get the whole sheet of regular printer paper size into the camera's view, the text will be alot smaller and probably alot harder for the phone to distinguish each individual letter.

But that's just my guess.
