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!

Where can I donate to this channel!!! See, that's another thing I found out --- we can actually support KZfaqrs, 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.

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

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.

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.

@ricdonato4328 2 жыл бұрын

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 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.

Hi! Tks for your video, but I really have a problem with Lens. I scan A4 pages, for contracts, and Lens delivers a smaller page, a different format of the A4 I expected. How can I fix that?? I looked in Options/Settings and there is no way to have a standard A4 output. Does anyone know a good scanner for Android which delivers an exact A4 scanned page, when you scan an A4?
