Microsoft Lens Customer Insights

1. (Like I can do when cropping pictures in other software.) I scan a lot of worksheets with a colored heading at the top it that this scanner doesn't like to acknowledge as part of the paper or sheets with a box drawn on the page that it only wants to focus on.So far, I've only used Lens to crop documents, but it works well.

2. I have had a few documents that I've had to manually convert in order to meet file size requirements for my company's travel expense reimbursement system which limits file sizes to 1MB.

3. The auto-crop took an entire picture of my desk, or a small part of the document I was trying to scan.

4. I recommend this app to anyone who needs to make or scan in PDFs, worksheets, or any other documents.

5. As a teacher in these crazy times, with the covid19 pandemic, scanning in documents to share with my students have never been easier.

6. it appears they are pushing users into scanning directly in OneDrive, but multi-page documents require a premium subscription.

7. since the last update, i can no longer scan documents and send them to OneDrive as a pdf.

8. I hate when try to "scan" my documents and my phone casts a shadow on my pages.

9. Highly recommend it.If you scan a lot of documents on your phone, this app is amazing.

10. i understand the business model, but it's frustrating as a user to lose this functionality.This is a great app for document management.

11. Fugetaboutit! I'll find another app, thank you.Great for digitizing documents.
