    There are several ways to scan business cards into Excel:

    1. Microsoft Office Lens:
      • Download the Office Lens app on your smartphone.
      • Use the app to take a photo of the business card.
      • The app will automatically recognize the text and allow you to export it to Excel.
    2. CamScanner:
      • Download the CamScanner app.
      • Use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature to scan the business card.
      • Copy the extracted text and paste it into an Excel sheet.
    3. Data from Picture: You can use built-in function to get Text from Picture in Excel. Insert data from picture - Microsoft Support

    When using MO Lens, the only choice in the app is to send it to OneNote. How do I get it to populate in Excel?
