Microsoft Lens Sunset: A New Era for Document Scanning

Microsoft Lens, the handy little app we’ve all come to rely on for quick document scanning, is officially retiring. But don’t fret! AI is stepping in to fill its shoes, promising even more powerful and intelligent features.

Why the Change?

Microsoft is integrating Lens’s core functionalities directly into its other apps, leveraging the power of AI to enhance the scanning experience. This means you’ll find similar, if not improved, capabilities within apps you already use daily, like Microsoft 365 and OneDrive.

What to Expect from AI-Powered Scanning

• Enhanced Accuracy: AI algorithms will improve text recognition and image clarity.
• Smart Features: Expect automatic cropping, perspective correction, and even content suggestions powered by AI.
• Seamless Integration: Easily save scans directly to OneDrive or other Microsoft services for effortless access and sharing.

Where to Find the New Scanning Features

You’ll find the integrated scanning features in the following Microsoft applications:

• Microsoft 365 App: Access scanning directly within the main Microsoft 365 mobile app.
• OneDrive: Scan documents and save them directly to your cloud storage.
• Other Apps: Look for scanning options integrated into other relevant Microsoft apps as the updates roll out.
