Microsoft Lens (formerly Microsoft Office Lens) trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and documents readable and clear.

You can even import images that are already on your device using Gallery.

I use an Android phone and had about 4 scanner apps on my phone that I had to remove due to malware. I tried Microsoft Lens, and it functions very well. This is now my go-to scanning app. Soooo glad you shared this app, Kevin! 👍👍
You are amazing sir kevin! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You were the one I am looking up to. I've learned a lot from your videos especially those application and ways which are available on microsoft office. You have also encouraged me to make my own channel to share what I have learned from you. Above all, this is the way I see to help me fight being shy and not fluent on my verbal communication. Thank you so much for helping me to improve myself and my skills. God bless you!
I just use the Lens feature on Microsoft Office, works best for me. Another great video btw!
Thank you, Kevin. Well spoken and easy to understand.
Well, I knew many apps that work on Android specifically. As I don't use iPhones. But I never knew one app would support both Android and iPhone! So this is just fantastic!
Yeah, I love cross platform apps that you can recommend and will work for everyone.
@@KevinStratvert Of course. I have already recommended this to all my classmates and also linked this video to them for help and support! Hope it helps your channel :)
Whow this scanner is more advanced and basic for beginners. Thank you Kevin :)
That's new to me. Google photo scan was my go-to app, but it seems the bar has been raised. Thanks for sharing!
A fantastic video, Kevin and well deserved recognition for your work by Nerd!
Keep an eye out for my feature in an upcoming edition.
Very informative and well presented. Thanks a lot!
From Philippines, a big fan of yours🥰
I agree. Use it all the time. Very rich features. Congrats on your Nerd recognition BTW.
Excellent demonstration !!! - Beautiful app , I used this app to compile the answers for my exam.
I work with Microsoft enterprise products. just today I came to know about Microsoft lens. Very helpful app. Thanks for always informative content.
As always, very well explanation!
I love learning. Thank you.
Back on. Just scanned in a 26 page document, sent a copy of PDF file to my realtor, and emailed a copy for myself to my computer.
Your videos are so helpful and you're a great presenter!
Thank you so much!
Awesome video Kevin. I didn't know my Microsoft office Android phone App had a scanning feature. I found your video just before I was going to purchase a stand alone app to do the same thing. - Great tip. TY
THANKS! Kevin, this video saved me tons of money and a lot of time.
As expected from MS the apps is amazingly accurate and useful. Also you have 90% peace of mind about your privacy, scanning sensitive documents using a reliable company's app like Microsoft 👍
Thank you, appreciate Microsoft lens even more and will check out Microsoft office
Thanks for sharing us!
Kevin, YOU my friend are a Godsend! I don't know why Microsoft didn't rope you to your office space and on bended knee mercifully beg you not to leave them!!! But I'm glad you created this Channel. I'm pretty computer literate. But the tech world is ever changing and with life responsibilities and other family happenings,"I don't know what I don't know". when IT doesn't have to be your Forte to get the job done BUT knowing more helps make your work life more productive, I am very appreciative of YOUR Channel! Where can I donate to this channel!!! See, that's another thing I found out --- we can actually support UA-camrs, Wow! I know, right- Where have I been under a rock 🪨!LOL I'm forced to look at a computer screen aaaaahl day long for work. So I am very selective about what I WANNA see on screen. You're are greatlike Chocolate Cake! A great Teacher . I appreciate Kevin's Channel!
Thank you for another great video and making me look smarter and smarter! PS Diggerland is really fun!
Kevin is the best go to guy for mobile tech and app solutions 🏆🏆
Thanks for explaning how to use this app :)
The MS Lens and MS Office apps look pretty powerful. Thanks for the video.
You bet!
I love your videos! Can you use captions so others can access your content?
Thanks a lot, wonderful application and wonderful explanation
Thank so much. Very useful information
Thank you. I really needed these capabilities.
Thanks! Been using Lens for years with no idea it did so much. Enjoy the Digger.
Right on!
I use the Microsoft Lens app and that works for me very well.
And thank you Kevin sir for promoting the MS Lens app.
The MS Office requires much space which my phone is not capable of. Love the Lens app. ✌️👍
Great to hear!
@@KevinStratvert 😀
This is a great app. I used to use cam scanner but after it got banned in india i found this one legitimate. I usually scan my office documents . The perfect part is i can scan add all the pages export it as pdf to my one drive account. Bingo. Thanks for the tutorial 👍
Thanks. It is really brilliant.
I just downloaded a similar app before watching this hahaha but I guess I'll go uninstall it and use this one instead, looks easier to use and has better functions. Thanks for another helpful vid Kevin! :)
Another great video Kevin, informative (greatly helpful) and to the point as always.
My son has also been bugging me for a digger, I don't think I'm going to cave though... 😂
Ha, we have a construction project outside our house and my son now calls the digger his. He'll be quite disappointed once it wraps up and disappears.
Thanks Kevin. Big help.
Actually, You are an amazing man, All of your videos are Super.
Thank you so much 😀
Great video. Thanks a lot Kevin..!!!
Glad you liked it!
I love this tutorial. I myself love Office Lens with the options it has. Thank you so much for this video Kevin. And I always admire your thumbnails.
Thanks Hovindu! Thumbnails take a considerable amount of time! Although it's well worth the time investment since it's like the cover of a book and that's what attracts people to click.
@@KevinStratvert Of Course, Kevin. Thumbnails made by you are always awesome! Your my inspiration always!
Thank you for another great video!
You bet!
Thank you this video really helps 🥰
Hey Kevin, again a great video with new unknown stuff :). I was asking myself if Microsoft has a function to automatic read datas from documents and autofill this information in to excel or access. Like reading a buisness card and put it in my address book, or recognize a bill and readout Payment date, bill no or account datas into an excel or access sheet. I know there are programms on the market who can do this maybe you can give a hint on this one.
Kind regards and keep going, its always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn something new
Wow, excellent. I have it on my phone, but I had no idea it could do so much for me!
Thanks, blessings!
THANK YOU Kevin!!!!!
Wait you bought him an actual digger?
Wow. Never met my dad but
I wanna be a father like you one day.
Well done😢👏👏👏
A great video. I've got a 22+ page document I have to scan and send to my realtor. Hope MS Lens works as well as you advertise. Here goes.
Thanks really helpful for what I need to do
Thanks! Solves the problem of returning handwritten application forms from 3rd world countries, where people don't have PCs
0:05 - Hi Kevin! 👋
7:49 - 559th thumbs up from me! 👍
8:06 - Enjoyed it as always! ☺️ Cheers!
Legend!
beautiful video kevin stratvert
BRILLIANT!
Great video. What emulator software do you recommend for iPhone and Android?
Great video👍👍👍
thank you very much for doing this video I been looking for a app like this one for a long time
No problem 😊
Hi Kevin, good video! The thing I saw wrong with the capture is that I could tell the bottom of the screen was closer and the top was futher away. How do you correct that?
Nice information.....
Thanks
Thank you so much its really helpful
Hi can you show how to make a activity plan for the entire year showing quarters and months in a sunburst chart in excel. A business activity plan for the entire year.
Great channel 👍
My scanner just gave out. This will save me until I can get another. Maybe I won’t need another, unless I want to catalog slides. Thank you for highlighting this app.
that was amazing
Thanks bro
Thanks for info on a very useful app
Sure thing!
Thank you for you this app 🙂 useful app 😊
I just installed and tested Lens on Android (my wife installed on iPhone). I "scanned" a full page (black text on white paper) with the Flash ON, which caused a glare, but the "Whiteboard" filter cleaned it up. The "Reader" generated perfect text with no typos. My first test with no flash with the "Document" filter caused typos (mis-read text) in the Reader.
Great video.
Thanks!
I came here to see the Applaud button.
Thanks Kevin
WOW thanks for the video !
Can u make a video about how to make a link for your youtube channel please
Thanks 💃
Thanks
I wish you could do a video for dummies - the folks at my office just need to know how to scan receipts to a pdf and email the pdf to themselves. With all these details, I can't send them this video to use as a guide because they'll give up. It's a great video though - for power users that understand all these bells and whistles.
good tips
Amazing tips, have really improved my experience. But one question. Do you/have you worked for Microsoft, are you an ambassador?
I worked at Microsoft for 14 years and partnered with the team that developed the Office app... so I have a soft spot for the app 😁
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.
Very good
?Too..daaayyyy!!! another greeeeaattt video...
Hi Kevin, what is the best free app for Genealogy Family tree? Does Microsoft apps have this built-in?
By the way your videos are superb, easy to understand and very very useful - thanks a lot!!
👍👍👍👌👌👌😊
Ok ...... thanks
Kevin can you please teach us the best way to scan business cards into Outlook on your laptop ❔
is this good for illustrations to colour in eventually in paint3D?
yes thi application is cool
amazing
Could you make a video about Grafana and similar software?
I just use regular, degular Apple notes to scan multi page documents and have for years. It works great and then in the note I can add pictures and other things so they are in one place. I might try this too but I don’t see anything that this will do differently than the notes in my iPhone which will automatically show up on my laptop/ iPad etc.
Corrie, you may say "I will never leave Mac, iPhone, nor iPad", however give thoughts to long term Apple Notes use. There may come a time when you want or need switching platforms. Apple Notes and other Apple software have a major downside, they are not cross platform. For me, and many of my friends, that alone became major pain in the caboose. Of course one can log into their iCloud account from any platform, however it is a bandaid not a solution. The lack of proper cross platform capabilities is real and can become quite frustrating.
Hi Kev, I would like to ask you what is the best programing language and softwares to learn to be able to make windows apps and desktop softwares. Thanks also if you do or know tutorials or online programs free or payed to fully learn how to became a great deve drom scratsh ... thanks looking forward for ur vid Thnx
hey kevin which one is better open editor vs da vinci resolve for beginners #askkevin
Nice1 bro
👍👍👍👍👍
The most disappointing thing about this app is, it does not allow more than hundred photos to edit in one go
Kevin, do you have a solution for patient notes as part of Microsoft Office. A way to have multiple dates for the same patient and then multiple patients. I am sure Office has a solution other than just re-opening a file and filing in a date and note. Any help would be great.
Nice Kevin
Hey
Thanks. Where can i find my files on my PC once they have beenscanned in via my mobile phone.??
Mamy thanks
Kevin, loved the video. But what if your document has more that one page? My experience is that that would apply to most documents that I need to scan. Thanks!
Thanks Keith! At 2:10 on the menu at the bottom on the far left, you can click to add additional pages.
@@KevinStratvert thanks! So you have to photograph one page at a time, correct?
Yeah, you still have to take a photo of each page and you have to click on the + icon to add another page. I guess there could be a feature (i.e. bulk option) where you just lay out all your pages and then just snap them one after another to save some time.
I wanted to know how I save an, in powerpoint animated, dia to send, so that the reciever sees it instantly moving when opening the mail. Even better if you could make a tutorial on that matter.
Many thanks Stefan
Hi Kevin. When I try to extract text using my iPhone, it snaps the photo of the document OK, and when I push Confirm, it briefly displays "Extracting data", but then displays "Invalid credentials". My searches say that recently, the desktop app was changed to require a special Lens login ID and that this is affecting the iPhone app as well because of the Apple ID. Any info you have would be appreciated.
It can also convert handwriting to digital text format
nice
