New App: Microsoft releases Office Lens, like a pocket scanner


Office Lens trims, enhances and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable, and saves them to OneNote.

Office Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Never miss notes on whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again! 

Scenarios:
        - Capture pictures of whiteboards and share your meeting notes with co-workers.
        - Make digital copies of your printed documents, business cards or posters. The text will be automatically recognized (using OCR) so you can search and edit it.
        - Take pictures of menus, shopping lists, or children's sketches so you never have to worry about forgetting or misplacing them.

Features:
        - With Whiteboard mode, Office Lens trims and cleans up glares and shadows.
        - With Document mode, Office Lens trims and colors them perfectly. 
        - Save pictures not only to your camera roll, but directly into OneNote. You can see the images across all your devices.

Note:
Office Lens requires logging in with your Microsoft Account.
Your Microsoft Account must be same as the one registered on your device.

Free: get it in the Windows Phone Store.
