<ul><li>Recognizes the corners of a document and automatically crops, enhances and cleans up the image.</li> <li>Identifies printed text with optical character recognition (OCR) so that you can search by key word for the image in OneNote or OneDrive.</li> <li>Converts images of paper documents and whiteboard notes into Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and PDF files for easy editing and reformatting (see more details here).</li> <li>Captures business cards and generates contacts you can add to your phone.</li> <li>Inserts images to OneNote or OneDrive (as DOCX, PPTX, JPG or PDF format) and gives you options to save, export and share the image.</li> </ul>

<p>Microsoft is also launching an Android version of Office Lens, but it's only available as a preview version for select testers.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office-lens/id975925059?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download now[/url]</li> </ul><p>Source: Microsoft (http://blogs.office.com/2015/04/02/office-lens-comes-to-iphone-and-android/)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/450e9d67/sc/15/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
