Scan documents with your phone using Microsoft Lens

Scan documents with your phone using Microsoft Lens

Transferring physical notes to digital form is easy with Microsoft Office Lens.
This App is one of my absolute favorites - it allows you to scan Whiteboards, capture presentations, extract data from printed tables, and more.
In this video, I go through most of the features of Microsoft Lens.

That's amazing to add visual reader option after taking the picture of text. Very useful for myself recently being I'm on my mobile only I am able to have a free hand since I don't need to hold to read.

In the Actions section, the extracting text feature works also for existing images from our phone. In the Actions section, just click the image you are interested in.

Thank you for taking your time to teach others on M/S Lens. I have Lens on my iPhone 12 and love it, but when I try to email it the app defaults to one of my email addresses that isn't my preference. Can you tell me how to change the default email address in Lens?

Sliding over to "Actions" I am told by dialog box that to enter Actions all current images will be deleted. I am on iOS 17.2 (early 2024 at time of writing) OCR or saving to OneNote requires allowing Microsoft access to your content handled by Lens in passage to OneNote. I will have to do more research on how they night be using all the data, even if it's "annonimized" (if this is the right term...

Perhaps this changed since video creation but if so illustrates how often Office changes its interface or loses features. I am particularly interested in OCR for one-off tasks like capture of one document by iPhone. But the details of Microsoft's Privacy warning that shows when allowing the "Enhanced Sharing" is creepy and off-putting just to avoid some re-typing...

It's not support with my device (samsung galaxy s6) and what is the reason for that?

hi, for text extraction the application does not recognize handwriting!
