Office Lens: Record notes from you iPhone, Android Phone, or Tablet

Office Lens is a handy capture app that turns your smartphone into a pocket scanner.  Use it to take pictures of receipts, business cards, menus, whiteboards or sticky notes—then let Office Lens crop, enhance and save. Just like that—all the scanned images you capture from Office Lens are accessible on all your devices.

Here’s a quick look at some of the more significant features and capabilities that Office Lens for iPhone supports:

• Recognizes the corners of a document and automatically crops, enhances and cleans up the image.

• Identifies printed text with optical character recognition (OCR) so that you can search by key word for the image in OneNote or OneDrive.
• Converts images of paper documents and whiteboard notes into Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and PDF files for easy editing and reformatting (see more details here).
• Captures business cards and generates contacts you can add to your phone.
• Inserts images to OneNote or OneDrive (as DOCX, PPTX, JPG or PDF format) and gives you options to save, export and share the image.

Google Calendar iPhone App

Hey iOS users, your JasperNet Google Calendar just became more accessible. Google recently announced the new Google Calendar App for iPhone.

And the Google Calendar App for Android was also recently updated.

The screenshot below is from the new iPhone Google Calendar App:

Work with any file, on any device, any time.

With today’s launch of the Slides app for iPhone & iPad and updates to the Docs and Sheets apps, we’re delivering on our promise to make it possible for you to work with any file, on any device, any time. You can now create that grocery list, edit that spreadsheet, and update that slide deck with no problem.

Here's the lowdown on what you can now do with Docs, Sheets, and Slides:

1. You can truly get stuff done from any device—your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Any change you make on any of these devices is saved automatically, so you can pick up right where you left off any time, anywhere that you can sign in. 
2. The Docs, Sheets and Slides apps come with offline editing built right in. Just make the files you want to edit available offline. Any changes you make offline get automatically synced when you reconnect, just like when you make offline edits from your computer. 
3. And while converting Office files to Docs, Sheets and Slides is a cinch, the new iPhone/iPad apps also let you edit Office files directly -- just like on the Android apps and the web. 

Simply put, no matter where you are, how spotty the WiFi is, or what file type you're working with, you can get stuff done your way.

Did you know that you can use your manhattan.edu account with most all Google apps for your iPad, iPhone, iOS, or Android device? Here's the trick......

1. Download your favorite Google app from the iTunes/Play Store.

2. Open the app. In this case, we will use the Gmail app.


3. When prompted for your Google email and password, enter only the EMAIL in the form of your JasperNet email address. (youraccount@manhattan.edu). There is no need to enter the password at this point. Click "login".


4. Once Google has validated your manhattan.edu email address, you will be forwarded to the JasperNet SingleSignOn screen. At this point, enter your JasperNet USERNAME and PASSWORD. (Not your full email address).



5. Voila!

The same steps will work whether you're setting up your new Android phone are adding a new app to your Android or iOS device that requires a Google account.  This will also work from a regular web browser.
