Microsoft is bringing its Office Lens scanning app to iOS and Android.
Office Lens launched a year ago, but only for Windows Phone. Now, the app—which lets you scan things and save the text to OneNote—is branching out to Apple and Google's mobile operating systems.
"Office Lens is a handy capture app that turns your smartphone into a pocket scanner and it works with OneNote so you'll never lose a thing," Microsoft said in a blog post. "Use it to take pictures of receipts, business cards, menus, whiteboards or sticky notes—then let Office Lens crop, enhance and save to OneNote. Just like that—all the scanned images you capture from Office Lens are accessible on all your devices."
Office Lens recognizes printed text, which means you can search by keyword in OneNote or OneDrive. It will also convert paper document scans into Office docs, like Word files or PowerPoint presentations, and accept images. Scan business cards and add data to your phone.
Office Lens is available now in the App Store and Windows Phone Marketplace.
On Android, it's currently in preview. To get it, visit the Office Lens Android Preview on Google+, click "Join community" in the upper right-hand corner, and then "Become a Tester" under "About this community."
