Microsoft has announced it is rolling out a new optical character recognition (OCR) feature in SkyDrive. When a user takes a photo with a Windows Phone 8 device configured to automatically upload photos to SkyDrive, a Bing-powered OCR tool will scan the image for text and display it in a new Extracted Text panel on the right.
The feature is currently available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German. Learn more on the Inside SkyDrive blog here.
