androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-20 04:00:29

Andy Walker / Android Authority There comes a time when all great apps must die, especially if Microsoft owns them. Redmond has taken many tools away from me, from Sunrise Calendar to Wunderlist, and now it’s hooking Microsoft Lens from the stage. The PDF scanner app made it easy to grab physical documents and transform them into digital copies without a bulky scanner. It was nothing fancy, but it did its job effortlessly. While Lens is undoubtedly one of the more useful tools Microsoft has gi

When it was first released by Adobe in 1993, the PDF was truly transformative technology. The Portable Document Format was a multipurpose container that replicated the appearance and functionality of physical documents. That sounds unimportant, but as adoption spread with Adobe’s introduction of free Acrobat software for reading PDFs a year later, anyone, from the government to your doctor’s office, could rely on digital documentation that felt familiar to the paper versions. “It wasn't like a

Andy Walker / Android Authority If Microsoft Lens were a coin, I’d likely find it lurking between the couch cushions. It’s one of those apps that I forgot was installed on my device, but I was always glad to see it whenever I needed to scan receipts, invoices, menus, random documents, or business cards, extract their text, and convert the result into my preferred file type. Unfortunately, we can’t have nice things. So, as it was one of Redmond’s most functional and reliable Android apps, Lens
