Text Annotations are coming to Office Lens for Android and iOS
Microsoft's Office Lens, one of the best apps of 2015, has just received a small but important update that will allow users to put text on their photos. If you haven't yet used Office Lens, you'll probably want to know that the app enables Android and iOS users to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, as well as save to OneNote, OneDrive or your phone.
