Microsoft shows off optical character recognition for Windows 8
Microsoft already showed off a new Bing platform and 3D maps for Windows 8 today at Build 2013, and now it's revealed that optical character recognition (OCR) is coming to the OS as well. Of course, OCR has been available on Windows Phone for some time, but the feature has now finally made it to Win8. In the demo, Microsoft showed OCR scanning Spanish text on a sheet of paper, then translating it to English and adding the information to an itinerary within a travel app. Of course, we assume with all those new APIs, devs will be able to find many other ways to use this newfound feature within Windows.
