Boost Your Team’s Productivity with Office Lens – Tech Tip For August 15, 2023

Have you ever taken a photo of a whiteboard or handwritten notes and looked at it later, only to realize you can’t read the writing? Office Lens changes that. With Office Lens, you can effortlessly capture, digitize, and manage physical documents and convert them into editable Word, PowerPoint, or PDF files with just a few taps.

By leveraging the app’s features, users can streamline their workflow, save time, and enhance collaboration. Below are some of the capabilities of Office Lens.

Scan Documents on the Go

You can capture images of contracts, invoices, receipts, reports, and any other documents using Office Lens on your smartphone. Office Lens automatically crops, enhances, and cleans up the image, ensuring optimal clarity. Moreover, it offers multiple modes, including Whiteboard and Document mode, for capturing different types of content with utmost precision. It can even change the angle of a photo to make it easier to read.

Convert Images into Editable Files

The true power of Office Lens lies in its ability to transform captured images into editable files. Once you’ve captured a document or whiteboard, Office Lens employs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to recognize text and converts it into searchable, editable content. Without the need for manual data entry, Office Lens can make everyone in your company more efficient and productive.

Seamless Integration with Microsoft Products

Office Lens integrates with Microsoft’s OneNote, allowing users to store their digitized documents in organized notebooks for easy access and retrieval. It also integrates with other products, including Word and PowerPoint, enabling effortless collaboration and sharing of digitized content with colleagues.
