Office Lens

Like taking photos on whiteboards and projector slides? or maybe … walking to the

printer to scan your document takes a longer time.

Here's something you can try, if you haven't yet. Download Office Lens from your mobile app

store. It's a free app from Microsoft.

Office Lens trims, enhances and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable, and saves them to your

OneNote.

You can use Office Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files too. Office Lens is like having a

scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitalize notes on whiteboards or blackboards. Always find

important documents or business cards.

Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again!

What's new:

- Now you can convert your pictures to PDF files with selectable text, in addition to Word and PowerPoint files,

and save them to OneDrive.

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 are saved to your camera roll and also directly into OneNote, so you can see the images across all

your devices.

- Choose to convert images to PDF (.pdf), Word (.docx), or PowerPoint (.pptx) files that are automatically

saved to OneDrive.

Note: Office Lens requires logging in with your Microsoft Account. Your Microsoft Account must be same as the

one registered on your device.
