It automatically detects the document edges, and makes it easy to save or share as a PDF. > > **Cons**: It does not always detect the edges correctly, especially with poor lighting or unusual backgrounds. > > It is useful for quickly scanning documents. No need to have access to a regular scanner. You can do it anytime and anywhere. ----- ### "Great means of centralising documents" — 5.0/5 > **Conor** | *27 October 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy way to scan for pdf creation, it allows good centralisation of old documents and can integrate with other systems > > **Cons**: Occasional difficulty in scanning with light and position but I find this still better than the majority of other pdf creation materials > > I have been using lens to quickly scan old documents to create digital folders. It has allowed me to centralise my materials without using the scanner/photocopier in the office ----- ### "Fast and Reliable Document Scanner" — 4.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *27 July 2026* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Microsoft Lens was how quickly it turns photos into clean, readable scans. The automatic cropping and image enhancement work really well, and it's easy to save documents as PDFs or send them directly to OneDrive or other Microsoft apps. The text recognition feature is also very useful, making it simple to copy text from scanned documents instead of typing everything manually. > > **Cons**: 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. Occasionally I had to rescan a page to get a cleaner result. It also has fewer editing options than some dedicated document scanning apps, so making adjustments after a scan can be a little limited. > > Overall, my experience with Microsoft Lens has been very positive. 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. 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. ----- ### "industrial scale scanner power in your pocket" — 5.0/5 > **Pavlo** | *8 April 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ease of use and functionality - simple, crisp and high quality > > **Cons**: nothing critical missing, the integration with one drive sometimes takes more time than desired > > fantastic product, allowing you to have an industrial scale scanner power in your pocket ----- ### "Very Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Vanessa** | *10 March 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the document management the most. It is very easy to use and easy for organizing. The text recognition and image conversion are great tools\! > > **Cons**: I do not enjoy the customer service. They are a bit slow to respond but other than that everything else is perfect > > My overall experience is great. It has been very useful and easy to use which are the things I look for in a system. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/193405/microsoft-office-lens?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/193405/microsoft-office-lens) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
