Scenarios:
- Capture and crop a picture of a whiteboard or blackboard and share your meeting notes with co-workers.
- Make digital copies of your printed documents, business cards or posters and trim them precisely.
- Printed text will be automatically recognized (using OCR) so you can search for words in images and copy and edit them.

Features:
- With Whiteboard mode, Office Lens trims and cleans up glare and shadows.
- With Document mode, Office Lens trims and colors images perfectly.
- Pictures can be saved to OneNote, OneDrive or other cloud storage.
-Business Card mode can extract contact information and save it into your address book and OneNote. This feature works best with English and German-based business cards and more languages are coming soon.
- Choose to convert images to Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF (.pdf) files that are automatically saved to OneDrive.

Problem with iPhone 13

Program worked fine with my iPhone 10 though files were a bit large for what was being scanned. Recently upgraded to iPhone 13 Pro and unable to store PDFs in phone storage. Program blinks and closes each time I try.

Now broken, used to work great

Worked great but now it crashes every time I scan to pdf… also UserVoice app support no longer works so I’m sending my feedback via review.

Working again

Wasn’t working for a couple days but it’s fixed now and is the best scanning app. Super useful while college is online.

Newest app and iOS version

It use to be great

I’ve been using lens for the past m two years but recently when I scan to create PDFs it keeps it as a jpeg. I’m a teacher and student need to upload work as PDFs so I recommended the office suite. So this was disappointing. Please fix

Crashes constantly

Had been using this for years with no issues, but now it crashes anytime I try to export the scan. Can’t even get it to a PDF. The “feedback” section just goes to an expired webpage where I can’t submit any information. Garbage.
