The Office Lens app that was launched for Windows Phone last year can also capture business cards and generate contacts you can add to the phone. The captured photos can be cropped, rotated, resized and enhanced before sending to OneNote or OneDrive. It also enables users to search for key words in the images via optical character recognition.
