Microsoft Lens - PDF Scanner

Microsoft Corporation easily beats its closest competitors in terms of creating useful products for work, a sort of “office assistants”. Just remember the famous Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and dozens of other useful tools, and today’s new product called Office Lens is quite worthy to take its rightful place among them. So, we present to your attention a utility that allows you to convert a variety of documents and images into digital format. Scan data from presentation stands and lecture boards, get a digitized version of receipts, business cards and other paper materials, sketch an idea that suddenly came to mind and save important records, making full use of the benefits of civilization and the progress of mobile technologies in particular!

In the future, the Office Lens tool for the Android platform makes it possible to save and edit various photographs of stands with important information to the required size, automatically converting the material after that to PDF, Word and PowerPoint format for further use, sending to your colleagues or premises to cloud storage such as Microsoft OneDrive. Using the optical character recognition (OCR) system integrated into the program, you can search for the document you need directly by the image or text on it. It is not for nothing that the Office Lens utility is called a pocket scanner – after all, it is available everywhere and almost immediately ready to work, since the control is carried out in just a couple of touches.

An additional, but no less important and useful functionality of the Office Lens mobile scanner is associated with detailed settings and maximum improvement of the original image: highlights and shadows will be automatically removed, the color balance will be corrected, and reformatting the document to the desired format will allow you to instantly apply it for its intended purpose or run it into a workflow, saving valuable time. In addition to cloud storage, files can be uploaded to file sharing services, where they will be available at any time to persons with the appropriate links and password, if the information is secret or confidential. Be sure to install Office Lens on your Android gadget and try it out, not as popular as other similar products, but no less useful and functional office assistant!
