Eh? Is that supposedly a new feature? Surely not. :tellme:
Microsoft had full document and OCR scanning in the Windows phone (and also Android) with the OfficeLens app. - and that was over 2 years ago, from memory. I've been using it for about 18 months and have mentioned it in the discussion thread on MS OneNote experiential tips - for example:
Damn, today OneNote's capability to copy text from pictures saved me hours of typing. Really neat function.

Yes, when I started to realise its potential, it blew me away. And it's been improved. And now there's Office Lens on Win10 smartphones (I've been using a Nokia Lumia 830). Select document, or photo, or whiteboard [,or business card], and then apply it to your image, and watch what happens. Seriously smart and useful technology. I'm in lurve. :-*

The Apple "document scanner" in the video seems relatively very clunky, by comparison with what I have been doing for (seems like) ages with OfficeLens on the Nokia Lumia 830 Windows phone. I didn't know that Apple were that backward. They always seemed to me to be ahead of the curve.
