Every now and again you bump into these great tools you can use for your work. Today i found another one. It is the Office Lens App for your windows phone. Earlier i posted a blogpost about Office Remote. Well you can see Office Lens in the same category here. This app makes taking snapshots from a whiteboard a whole lot easier. But wait you can also scan a document or even a photo. So why would you want to do that one asks? Well if you are like me and you have taken a picture from a whiteboard before you know what a struggle this can be to get a result which actually looks as you would like it to look. Office Lens will help you in the process of taking a picture from the whiteboard, present you with an option to do some additional cropping and in the end the app will fix the image for you. |
Ok enough said. Show some results. I have taken a picture from a whiteboard. The first one is actually just a picture with nothing done to it. As you can see the board is very glossy and you see the shadow of me taking the picture. That is not what i want. Well let’s try another angle. With Office Lens i took the same picture and let the app do his work. It cropped the picture and removed the shadow for me. Wow i am officially impressed 🙂
As with Office Remote the app comes with clear instructions. When first started you get a couple of screens explaining the app. Yes this is how the apps should work! You can get it here: Office Lens or just search for in on your phone! Nice right..? So start taking pictures from those whiteboards now 🙂
