OneNote builds in OCR feature mainly for the reason, to turn captures into editable text for filing and manipulation across different mobile apps, after all, most of the times, we don’t have enough time to rush down the notes, but a capture can make it within seconds. In other words, OneNote OCR is offered to later process the captured resource when we finally sit down.
