Snips
Go to the Snips tab to convert images. To snip an equation, piece of text, or table, choose Take photos. When your camera is launched, crop the box around the content and tap Scan.
Your Snip result appears instantly, and automatically syncs with any other app you are logged into (like the desktop apps). This is especially convenient if you are trying to get handwritten notes into a digital document that you are writing on your computer.
You can also create a Snip by drawing it directly on your phone or by uploading it from your gallery.
