Imagine scanning a handwritten doctor’s note, and Windows 11 automatically transcribes it into digital text without an internet connection (using Phi-3 or similar SLMs).
But did it work well ?
Windows 11 is a cloud-first OS. Your scanner software should save directly to OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box without saving a local temp file first.
If you have recently upgraded to Windows 11 or purchased a new PC, you might have noticed something surprising: You plugged in your trusty all-in-one printer/scanner, and Windows detected it instantly. You opened the Windows Scan app, pressed the button, and... it worked.
