Microsoft's new tool for Android phones converts photos into Excel spreadsheets. Along with numbers, you can convert lists and recipes.

Put down the paper and pick up your phone. A new Microsoft tool for Android phones can convert numbers on a sheet of paper into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in a couple of seconds. With Excel's Insert Data from Picture tool, you can capture an image of data in rows and columns on a piece of paper, and the Android Excel app will automatically convert the image into editable table data.

The tool sends the image to Excel's online image-recognition engine to process and convert it into a table. During the import, Excel gives you a chance to fix anything before it's converted. Microsoft said Insert Data from Picture will be coming to the iOS version of Excel soon.
