#Microsoft365 – I attend a lot of meetings and conferences (sure we all do) and I don’t always get the best seat right in the middle up front. So when I take photos of presentation slides they always end up at very strange angles. Let’s fix that!

For previous posts in my #Microsoft365Challenge go to the index page.

What does Microsoft say:

Office Lens trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable. You can use Office Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and you can even save images to OneNote or OneDrive. Office Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes from whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don’t lose receipts or stray sticky notes again!

 

I’ve used the Office Lens App on my iPhone and Android phone to take photos of presentations. It can also be used to ‘scan’ documents etc. Office Lens is now also built into your iPhone and iPad OneNote for inserting images with your camera. When taking a photo, Office Lens will ‘turn’ the image straight and make it square.

Click on the Camera in your OneNote App > Camera > Choose Whiteboard, Photo or Document. sorted.  

Pretty cool stuff!! 🙂

Purpose of this blog challenge:

I will write 365 blogs in 365 days around Microsoft 365. I did a similar challenge with Office 365, blogs can be found here. I won’t just be talking about the new Microsoft 365 subscription model. I will be sharing any news, tips and tricks around Office / Office 365 / Windows / Mobility and Security. And let’s not forget all the great new Apps & services available.  A lot of what I’ll share on Office and SharePoint will also be applicable to none “Office 365” versions.

Feel free to #AskBraam if you have questions or would like me to write about a specific topic. I’ve created a Flow to monitor Twitter for the #AskBraam hashtag and will try my best to incorporate any questions into the blogs, or answer them directly on Twitter. This is a “Learning through Sharing” approach to teach my pet sheep about Microsoft – read more on this here.
