With just a few taps, you can save that contact directly to your phone’s contacts, to OneNote, and import the contact information into Outlook. . No more manual typing, no more lost connections.
And it’s not just for business cards. It’s like having a scanner in your pocket.

It’s user-friendly, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy, and it integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft tools that I use daily, especially Outlook and OneNote. Networking just got a whole lot easier.
