The Pocket PDF Scanner with integrated OCR, known as Microsoft Lens (formerly Microsoft Office Lens), is a powerful tool designed to enhance your productivity both at work and school. This app allows you to trim, enhance, and make images of whiteboards and documents more readable, transforming them into editable and shareable files.
With Microsoft Lens, you can convert images directly into PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. It's perfect for digitizing printed or handwritten text, which you can then save to OneNote, OneDrive, or your local device. The app also supports importing images already stored on your device through the Gallery feature.
