With your iPhone on your hand or inside your pocket or handbag, you don't have to rush through lunch in order to make it back to the office in time to prepare a document. You can turn your iPhone into an office away from the office using several apps which are compatible with an iOS platform. These apps will enable you relax and bite that pizza one more time as you enter data into a spreadsheet.
The first app you can install to turn your iPhone into a little office is Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite. This app will allow you create and edit documents on Word and Excel. You can also open and read Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and iWork documents among others using this app. The app is available at a cost of around $20.
The second app you can install for an office experience is Microsoft's Office Lens. This app is literally like a portable scanner. It lets you convert images to PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files. The app automatically crops and rotates images. When you take a picture of a document with your iPhone, Word will preserve the layout of the paper and convert the image into text using optical character recognition feature. In addition to office documents, you can save your business cards as phone contacts by taking their picture and converting them into text.
The third app which will make your iPhone a little office is Dropbox. Dropbox enables you to easily transfer files from your computer to iPhone using its online service. It synchronizes files between computers. Wherever you are, you can be able to access any document from your computer back at the office. You only need to log in to your Dropbox account and then download the file on your iPhone.
Other apps you can install on your iOS device for an office experience are TapIt4Me, ScannR Business, and Carbonite among many more.
