A big shout out to my summit/conference pals Mario, Coulter, and Ammar from Microsoft for this one.
Office Lens claims having it is like having a scanner in your pocket - and it's right.
Office Lens trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and documents readable. You can use Office Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and save to OneNote, OneDrive, or your local device. (Not Google Drive...I asked 😆)
From an educational perspective, users can scan handouts and annotate them. The app even has the ability to crop out everything around it (including backs-of-heads!). Cool feature: If you take a picture of something at an angle, the app will align and edit the image to appear as though it's directly in front of you.
The tool even has its own Twitter account! Very simple to use, and very useful...definitely a tool to try out.
