Key Points:
- Windows Phone Link’s new feature allows copying text from Galaxy phone images to Galaxy Book laptops.
- The integration leverages Windows’ OCR capability, enabling text extraction from images.
- While still in testing, the feature promises enhanced productivity for Galaxy ecosystem users.
In a testament to the evolving collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft, the integration between Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Book laptops receives yet another enhancement. This time, the focus is on seamless text copying from images captured on a Galaxy phone to a Galaxy Book laptop.
This innovation comes via Microsoft’s Windows Phone Link app, which introduces a novel functionality enabling users to extract text from images on their Galaxy devices. Leveraging Windows’ native optical character recognition (OCR) capability, this feature allows for the effortless transfer of text from the captured images to any desired location on a Galaxy Book laptop running either Windows 10 or the latest Windows 11 operating system.
Currently, this feature is undergoing testing, with select users having access to it through the Release Preview version of the Phone Link app. However, once finalized, it is poised to significantly enhance productivity for Galaxy ecosystem users, enabling them to seamlessly integrate their mobile and laptop experiences.
Furthermore, this integration is part of a broader suite of functionalities offered by the Phone Link app, including access to media, call logs, notifications, and text messages, as well as the ability to control various aspects of the Galaxy phone remotely. With the promise of further refinements and expansions in the pipeline, the collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft continues to redefine the boundaries of seamless device integration and user experience enhancement.
