    This combined with the phone link thing have some serious privacy implications. Does this use a web service for Ocr or is it all local?

    Really surprised they didn’t call it AI

      Oh yeah, absolutely. I think there are plenty of privacy concerns that should be addressed. But I don’t know whether the OCR is processed locally or not. I know the plan for Windows 12 at least is to complete a good amount of the intelligence processing on-device, though that is reliant on specific hardware. And I don’t know how or whether these new features factor into that or not.
