Take your analog data digital for a faster, more efficient way to work

We live in an increasingly digital world. We’re used to having almost all the data we need at our fingertips with the click of a button or a tap of the screen. But avg.com/retail   in ways that aren’t  avg antivirus free digital—such as paper receipts, handouts at conferences, or notes from a whiteboard at  www.avg.com/activate a meeting. That’s why, at Microsoft, we’ve been developing ways for you to  avg internet security easily move your analog data into Install Avg With License Number activation  a digital format to help you be more productive.

Quickly capture paper-based data to unlock new insights

To help you bring analog data into Excel, we developed the Insert Data from Picture feature, which became available for Android this past March, and as of today, is now generally available for iOS with the iPhone Excel app. Also, starting today, the feature will support 21 languages on both iOS and Android Install Avg With License Number activation . With this feature, you can easily grab any data in a table format—financial spreadsheets, work schedules, task lists, timetables, and so on—and convert it to a digital format in Excel, so you can  avg antivirus free arrange and analyze that information quickly and in context to make better decisions on the fly.

The Insert Data from Picture feature works by combining advanced optical character recognition (OCR) technology www.avg.com/activate, layout understanding avg internet security techniques, and machine learning models to avg.com/retail   transform paper-based information into digital data. We’ve used these and other technologies across Office apps, including thepdf reflow feature for Word and Office Lens and in the Seeing API app.

Convert handwritten notes to digital text with ease

Let’s look at how we’re helping users go from analog to digital. Before, you had to copy whiteboard notes by hand at the end of meetings. Later, you could take photos of whiteboards with your phone. Either way, you still had to type in the notes later. Now, with ink grab you can take a picture of notes scribbled on a physical whiteboard avg antivirus free, convert them to digital ink in the  Microsoft white board app, and continue Install Avg With License Number activation  brainstorming with others on the digital canvas. We also built handwriting recognition into tools like OneNote, so you can convert notes to text quickly to share in messages, documents, or presentations.

We’re also exploring more advanced ways to help you convert analog data to digital information that you can use across your Office apps avg.com/retail  . For example, we envision that you’ll be able to take www.avg.com/activate a picture of handwritten notes on avg internet security paper and import the text directly. Other areas we’re exploring include scanning a picture, PDF annotation, and signing.

Analyzing the physical world

In addition to importing data from a physical piece of paper, there are many other ways we see customers leveraging Excel to Install Avg With License Number activation  help them analyze data from the real world. For example, with the Hacking stem program, teachers use avg.com/retail   Excel Data Streamer add-in avg antivirus free, students can easily move data from the  avg internet security physical world in and out of Excel—introducing them to data science www.avg.com/activate and the internet of things (IoT)—for example, using pressure sensors to measure brain impact during a concussion.

At Microsoft, we’re dedicated to finding ways to build artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and machine learning Install Avg With License Number activation  models into user apps to help avg internet security you be more productive and stay focused on critical deliverables instead of mundane tasks.
