Microsoft testing new feature to create spreadsheets using visual data
Microsoft is testing a feature that would allow users to create spreadsheets using visual data and mixing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Office 365 through smartphone cameras.
According to Microsoft, the “insert data from picture” option would allow users to scan a receipt or table-type information into Excel.
Scanning for a grid or outline can be done by many apps including Microsoft’s own Office Lens but taking the visual data and building up the sheet is the simple magic that smartphone users would love, Forbes reported on Sunday.
