Microsoft has released versions of its Office Lens application for Android, Windows Phone and iOS devices.
Office Lens uses the device’s camera to capture receipts, business cards, menus, whiteboards, sticky notes, and other documents and save them to OneNote. The tool is able to adjust automatically for crooked or angled images, and can recognize text thanks to optical character recognition.
Users can convert images of paper documents into Word, PowerPoint, or PDF files; automatically populate their contact lists with scans of business cards; as well as search, save, export, or share the images.
Microsoft is making Office Lens available to Android, Windows Phone and iOS devices as a preview. The app is free.
