Microsoft has a tool for Android and iOS users to convert their pictures of data into MS Excel Spreadsheets. With the Insert Data from Picture tool in Excel, you can click a snap of data in columns and rows on a piece of paper. The Android and iOS Excel app will automatically change the image data into an editable table.

The engine then proceeds to process and change the words and numbers in the form of a table. The tool can convert up to almost two dozen languages. You get the chance to edit any issues before the data is converted.

The Excel app is a part of the MS Office app available for mobile devices along with PowerPoint and Word. The free of cost versions provide standard editing tools, while the MS Office subscription unlocks features like the ability to merge and collaborate with other colleagues.

The tool for iOS and Android is compatible with 21 languages, which include German, French, Spanish, and much more as stated by Microsoft.

Users’ security is Microsoft’s utmost priority, so they try their best to assure that the data remains secure.
