Microsoft's digital notebook "ONENOTE" that allows you to consolidate and store not only text but also sound, video and anything from images.It can be used on both smartphones and PCs, and the convenience of editing notes as you like is also attractive.Here, I would like to introduce from the basics of ONENOTE to useful usage.This time, about how to use Office Lens.
Paper on ONENOTE data in the scan application "Office Lens"
OneNote supports not only text but also photos, audio, and handwritten input, so that it can be used in various ways.Of course, it is also possible to paste scanned data such as documents and business cards.However, in that case, there is a method of incorporating using a smartphone camera or scanner, but in the case of OneNote, it would be useful to use the "Office Lens" scan application released by the same Microsoft.
Office Lens has a trapezoidal correction function, and even if the data scanned by a smartphone is distorted, it is corrected to the same shape as the original document and trimmed it.In addition, since there is a Japanese OCR function, it can be stored in OneNOTE when the business card is loaded into text data.
Like ONENOTE, Microsoft's app "Office Lens" |
Scan by using all 4 types of shooting modes
The feature of this Office Lens is that a shooting mode is provided according to the target you want to scan.In the iOS version, the Android version can be selected from three types: "Photo", "Document", and "Whiteboard", from four types of business cards, photos, documents, and whiteboards.
The contents of these four types of shooting mode are as follows.
If you shoot in business card mode, the letters of the business card will be recognized |
How to use Office Lens in the iOS version?
It is easy to use Office Lens.However, the operation is slightly different between the iOS version and the Android version, so let's first explain from the use of the iOS version.
After installing the app and launched, slide the mode selection dial and select a shooting mode.After that, press the shutter button to shoot, and tap "Complete" at the top right of the screen.A screen called "Export destination" appears, select "ONENOTE", specify the page title and save destination section, and tap "Save".
Then, since it moves to the "Recent Upload" screen, tap when the status of the taken data is "Tap and open" from "Transfer ...".Then the OneNote opens and the data is read.This should reflect the scanned data on ONENOTE.
The iOS version can change the mode in the dial on the shutter button | After shooting, set the export destination in the "completion" in the upper right. |
Setting the data storage destination.Here, select "ONENOTE" | Set the title and section name on the page and tap "Save" |
How to use in the Android version?
In the case of the Android version, first of the three icons at the top right of the screen, tap the middle to put out the menu and select the shooting mode.Tap the camera button to shoot, then tap the floppy disk button to save.
After that, specify the page title on the save screen, check "OneNote", and tap the check mark at the top right of the screen.Since it moves to the "Recent History" screen, tap when the status of the taken data is "transferred to OneNote".This is done.
The Android version can be switched with the menu that taps the mode selection button | After shooting, set the save destination with the floppy disk button at the bottom of the screen. | Check the save destination and set the title and section |
Utilize the Japanese OCR function to make documents into text data
The advantage of using Office Lens in OneNote is that you can choose a shooting method that matches the scanning object as mentioned earlier, and that the documents can be taken beautifully with the trapezoidal correction function.Another big point is that you can use the Japanese OCR function installed in Office Lens.In the case of a business card, the data is textured after the scan and it is stored on the OneNote page with a VCF file.
However, the document data read in the document mode is saved as an image in OneNote, and it cannot be directly used for text -ized data.However, if you are installing a mobile version of Word, the data you read will be saved as a textbook when the save destination is set to Word.After opening this and selecting all, copying and paste on the OneNote page, you can save paper documents as digital data as digital data.
Since Office Lens is a machine recognition, the read precision is not perfect, so it is necessary to check and modify human eyes.However, if you use it, digitization of paper will be easier.
In the case of business card data, a business card dedicated form for OneNote is created and saved on the page. |
If the storage destination is set to Word, it will be texted with the Japanese OCR function |
***
This time, we have introduced scanning using Office Lens as one of the input methods of OneNote, but it is convenient that it is easy to capture paper cards and documents that cannot be covered with OneNote's camera function.If you want to manage business cards and documents, it is an app that seems to be good to consider the introduction.
