About

Microsoft Lens (formerly Microsoft Office Lens) trims, enhances, and makes pictures of whiteboards and docs readable. You can use Microsoft Lens to convert images to PDF, Word and PowerPoint files, and you can even save images to OneNote or OneDrive. Microsoft Lens is like having a scanner in your pocket. Like magic, it will digitize notes from whiteboards or blackboards. Always find important documents or business cards. Sketch your ideas and snap a picture for later. Don't lose receipts or stray sticky notes again!

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is an amazing tool in keeping notes and documents at your fingertips! Easy to use, easy to add sections & pages, love this tool to keep notes and stay organized!
  • - It is an easy-to-use tool that helps tremendously in organizing notes. - It has useful tools that fulfill the requirements for both personal and professional use. - Different sections can be created to organize and separate the notes. - The user interface of the application is fluid to use because of the animation and looks pleasing to the eyes. - It autosaves the notes, which is lifesaver features in times when the system shuts down abruptly.
  • I can sync my notes on my PC and access them on my phone very quickly and easily. Creating notes with images and links is fun and works well. Best of all it syncs to OneDrive to access all your PC files on your phone.
  • Syncs between devices. Works great with keyboards, styluses, and finger inputs. Many drawing options. Can add images, audio, documents.
  • Our organization is using OneNote to manage employee documents in a secure and organized manner. It is beneficial for saving the data and images on a secured office 365 cloud. We can create a customize graphical dashboard to manage and analyze the activities. We can save the data by adding multiple specific tabs with their titles. We can share the data/files across the organization. - Great application for documentation - Customizable graphical dashboard to analyze the progress/records. - Data saving and sharing feature. - Searching capability is incredible. - We can create the slides for representation - Friendly user interface and easy to use. - Open-source application - Cross-platform and highly secured Office 365 tool - Mobile version

Cons

  • No cons that I can think of honestly. I love this tool!
  • - It limits the user in terms of integration, as it does not support third-party integration with many applications other than Microsoft's applications.
  • Sometimes syncing can be slow and there are not enough sharing options like other note-taking apps.
  • File size can get large. There is a bug (?) on android where typing with a keyboard does not allow you to use ctrl+b, ctrl+i, ctrl+u, ctrl+arrow left or right and other common shortcuts. I can't fathom why!!
  • Nothing to dislike with OneNote. Everything is working fine for me. I love this product.
