Pros

“It's a simple and reliable app for scanning documents, receipts, business cards, and notes, and it produces clean, high-quality scans with very little effort.”

Jonathan K.

Chief Marketing Officer

“The OCR feature and PDF export save a lot of time, and the integration with OneDrive and other Microsoft apps makes it easy to organize and share files. While there are a few limitations with editing and text recognition on more difficult scans, it's an excellent tool for everyday document scanning.”

Jonathan K.

Chief Marketing Officer

“What I liked least about Microsoft Lens was that the text recognition isn't always perfect, especially with handwritten notes or documents that aren't well lit.”

Cons

“It does not always detect the edges correctly, especially with poor lighting or unusual backgrounds.”

Wei J.

Manager

“Microsoft Lens may not be the best option for scanning large documents or images on older devices, as it can be slow to load and process the images.”

“Sometimes the application slows down on my phone.”
