If you think that “Office” simply packages the basic functions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you are too underestimated by Microsoft. I even think that the highlight of this application is not “three in one”, but other auxiliary Features.

Image to text

Office provides two ORC functions: extracting text from images and extracting tables from images. You can also create Excel documents directly after recognizing tables.

At present, ORC technology is quite mature, and the accuracy of text and table recognition in Office is also good. Although there are many applications with similar functions on the market, most of them are not free. For example, WPS users need to register to unlock the identification function. Editing and copying the identification content requires additional payment, while “Office” is completely free and does not require login. .

PDF processing

Signing PDFs, converting documents / pictures to PDFs, and scanning pictures to PDFs are common requirements,Install an application.

If there’s something wrong, maybe the PDF editing function is missing.

File transfer

I didn’t expect that the pain point of transferring files between mobile phone and computer was also solved by “Office”. The method is very simple, no need to log in to any account or install software on the computer:

  1. Open http://transfer.office.com/ in your computer browser;
  2. Open “Transfer File” in “Office” and select “Receive” or “Send”;
  3. Use Office to scan the QR code that appears on your computer screen;
  4. Transfer files as needed.

    The disadvantage is that the maximum limit of a single file is 10M, and the connection speed is not very stable. In addition, I do n’t know if it is a network problem or an application bug. When I scan the QR code, there are several times when the application is unresponsive and forced to exit.

    “Share to Attachment”, as the name suggests, is a short-distance transmission, which is applicable when both sides have Office installed.

    If it can solve the network and stability problems, Office is a good tool for transferring small files.

    Notes

    By counting, “Office” integrates more than just the three-piece office suite. For example, the aforementioned image text extraction and scanning PDF originated from another useful tool “Office Lens” from Microsoft. The function of notes comes from Desktop note on Windows 10, login with Microsoft account “Office “, you can also synchronize the notes on your computer to the” notes “category of your phone.

    By the way, “Office” also comes with a QR code scanning tool, which is convenient for you to scan various article links and save them directly to your notes, but you can only save the links, which is not as effective as a special note tool .

    Unfortunately, as a productivity tool, “Office” has not yet optimized the tablet, and it does not even support the use of horizontal screen in the Android tablet, but we can still see the sincerity of Microsoft, we believe that the tablet optimization will have , IOS version will also be available.
