### "Awesome tool to scan documents!"

May 26, 2021

5.0

I have the app of Lens on my phone, and it is great tool to take quick pictures and transform it to professional looking documents.

Pros

The UI is very simple and easy to use, during the pandemic lockdown, when everything was closed in our country, and of course not everyone has a scanner/printer at their households, this saved us each time we needed to sign and scan a document,.

Cons

Well, I cannot really think of something that I don't like about Microsoft Lens, maybe the first time was a bit difficult to use.

### "Simple, accessible and useful, Microsoft Office Lens is the best choice when scanning documents!"

February 16, 2020

5.0

This valuable app can help a lot with quick scans that also demands quality nowadays. I liked the fact that you can use it in your smartphone and in our computer without any problem! This program is endeed a great resource at the work or for any other personal activities involving the digitisation of physical documents.

Pros

Easy to use and takes a low amount of storage space.

Cons

Since it is a free program from Microsoft, I would like to see it being advertised more often by the company for Office and Windows users that are unaware about the software!

### "Quick and Easy Digital Document Creation from Hard-copy"

January 16, 2020

5.0

This software allows you to snap a photo of a document, note, or whiteboard and save it as a photo or PDF document. This comes in handy when wanting to turn a hand-written note into a digital document. Instead of having to save a trapezoid-shaped picture of it, the software defines the edges of the document and alters the photo to correct the shape into a rectangle.

Pros

Ease of use, quick formatting of documents, integration with One Drive

Cons

Sometimes the image comes out shadowed or blurry around the edges

### "scan and print easily"

May 17, 2021

5.0

I would like a better design and that within the same software the print queue could be organized and thus be able to schedule and print them automatically

Pros

What fascinates me the most is the ease of use that I have available at any time without the need for a computer, besides that we can export a document directly to Microsoft Word to modify it quickly

Cons

I would only like small improvements in terms of appearance and accessibility of some tools, but in general terms it is very good software

### "Useful app for scanning printed or handwritten notes"

November 21, 2019

4.0

I use this application for recording the notes that I’ll be needing later.

Pros

I like that Office Lens can easily scan any printed material and makes it searchable within OneNote. I also like the easy integration with other tools such as OneNote and syncing across devices.

Cons

I think the application can be improved by making it more stable as sometimes it can hang while processing my scanned notes.

March 1, 2023

5.0

Buona davvero.

Pros

Scannerizza bene appunti e permette di salvarli in diversi formati. Mi ci sono trovata bene.

Non ci sono veri punti negativi. Compie bene il suo dovere anche quando si tratta di modificare ciò che si è scannerizzato.

### "Best scanner out there"

July 31, 2020

5.0

Great overall performance compared to other alternatives out there and it works pretty well with the office suite

Pros

Very easy to use and innovative product that enables users to quickly scan documents or boards and then transforms these documents to legitimate scanned documents in various formats like pdf.

Cons

Sometimes on my android phone it lags and fails to save scanned documents. Also on minor occasions the app failed to recognise the document.

### "Microsoft lens - a researcher review"

February 9, 2023

4.0

It is one of the best tools I have used for capturing any image and converting it to a pdf or word file.

Pros

It's so much easier to copy any text in any form, from anything from posters to books to screens, and the best part is that we can integrate lens with other MS-office tools.

Cons

The copy text feature is not reliable sometimes.

### "Smart way to capture official documents"

June 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like Microsoft Lens because it is sensitive to the type of document being scanned, giving the user more room for flexibility. The whiteboard feature is smart because it takes uses little space and has beautifully visible characters.

Cons

The movements of the frames as the camera attempts to automatically detect the type of document being scanned disturb the eyes. But that can be sorted in the settings anyway.

### "Digitize information quickly and easily"

July 14, 2021

5.0

I use Microsoft Lens to digitise my notes after meetings. I often prefer to write by hand rather than on the computer.

Pros

I appreciate the ability to easily digitize notes. By uploading directly to my One Drive, I can quickly continue working with the digitized information.

Cons

After scanning a document, I have to choose how to save it. Here I would like to see a default storage method to save time.

Buena Solucion, AI ...

Pros

February 11, 2023

3.0

Non buona

Pros

Buono per semplice Scan su carta, non pratica per android

Cons

Da migliorare le modifiche post scatto e l'editing; la condivisione del documento diventa difficoltosa su android, e la memoria è scarsa. Funziona solo se la connessione è attiva

### "Gosto bastante do aplicativo Microsoft Office Lens por ser bem completo por dia só."

July 16, 2021

5.0

A minha experiência dentro do aplicativo foi incrível, visto que eu utilizava outro aplicativo que não possuía todas as funcionalidades no Microsoft Office Lens e, quando eu descobri esse aplicativo revolucionário, percebi que esse é o melhor que eu havia encontrado até então.

Pros

O que eu mais gostei no aplicativo foi sua variedade de funções, uma vez que ele possui leitor de QR code, escaneador de documento, dentre suas outras funcionalidades, o que faz com que não seja necessário baixar vários outros aplicativos com uma única função cada um.

Cons

O que eu menos gostei no aplicativo Microsoft Office Lens foi o seu design interno (dentro do aplicativo) o qual poderia ser mais organizado e bonito.

Switched from

[CamScanner](https://www.capterra.com/p/210426/CamScanner/)

O aplicativo CamScanner não possui um leque tão grande assim como o aplicativo Microsoft Office Lens possui. Portanto, não supria todas as minhas necessidades.
