Captures business cards and generates contacts that you can add to your phone.
Inserts images to OneNote or OneDrive (as DOCX, PPTX, JPG or PDF format) and gives you options to save, export and share the image.

On my windows phone it allows me to take 5 pics at most. It saves both edited and not edited pics in my library. If internet connection is available or whenever you connect to the internet is process your saved images into a OneNote page(optional you may cancel this). And creates a pdf, word, and/or powerpoint copy in your OneDrive account(optional). And there are 4 modes on what it does with the picture. Photo mode: plain no editing of image. Business Card mode, Whiteboard mode, and Document mode can’t really tell what’s the difference with these modes.
Hope that helped.
