The arrival of the new CEO at Microsoft has meant a radical change in Microsoft's relationship with most companies. Since the launch of the iPad, it was all rumors about a possible release date for the Office suite that were never confirmed until it finally landed last year. But from a time to this afternoon Microsoft is filling the App Store with its applications, Although it is based on a checkbook, it must be recognized that they offer excellent results. At the moment, only for iPhone we can find 47 Microsoft applications.
The last to arrive on the App Store has been Office Lens, an application that allows us to scan documents, whiteboards, business cards to later cut and improve them to archive and consult them later. It also has character recognition, also known as OCR, to be able to convert documents and images into editable Word, PowerPoint or PDF documents.
Office Lens is our pocket scanner, where we can scan any document in seconds, convert it to PDF or editable format to send it directly by email or edit it to modify it in just a few minutes. The main features of this application are:
- At Blackboard mode, Office Lens trims and removes reflections and shadows that may appear when shooting.
- At Document mode, Office Lens automatically crops the excess portion (area around the image) and straightens the capture.
- The images we capture can be saved directly to OneNote, OneDrive, or supported storage service that the application offers us.
- We can convert our images into Word, PowerPoint or PDF documents before saving them directly to our OneDrive account.
With the applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Office Lens never It has been so easy to carry our entire office on our device.
