Sometimes I come across awesome smartphone apps that make my life easier. This is one of them!
For a few years, I’ve been scanning my kids’ artwork and homework to the computer for digital backup. It was a pain. And it took forever. I knew there had to be an easier way, but didn't know what it might be.
One day, a friend showed me an free app by Microsoft called Office Lens. It allows you to take pictures and automatically re-sizes the image. Even when you capture a document at an angle, it’ll adjust it by cropping it correctly.. It also enhances and makes pictures of whiteboards and documents readable. Office Lens can convert images to editable Word and PowerPoint files too.
It’s one of the handiest tools on my phone. I use it at work to scan documents to my camera roll, and save those important whiteboard meeting notes before they are wiped away.
I highly recommend it!
