In today's fast-paced world, having a reliable pocket PDF scanner with integrated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can revolutionize your productivity. Microsoft Lens, formerly known as Microsoft Office Lens, is a powerful tool designed to enhance your digital workflow by transforming images into editable and shareable formats. This versatile app trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and documents more readable, ensuring that your captured content is clear and professional.

With Microsoft Lens, you can easily convert images to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. This feature is particularly useful for digitizing printed or handwritten text, allowing you to edit and share your documents seamlessly. The app also supports importing images directly from your device's gallery, making it incredibly convenient to manage your digital files. Whether you choose to save your files to OneNote, OneDrive, or your local device, Microsoft Lens provides flexible storage options to suit your needs.
