The company said last week that the Microsoft Lens app will be closed later this year. The app was designed to scan physical documents, text, handwritten papers, and whiteboards and convert them into digital files. However, Redmund -based Tech Dev said he would be retired by the end of this year. Although the company did not share the reason behind closing the lens app, it suggested that users replace Microsoft Co -Co -365 as an alternative.
Co -microsoft lens replaces app
Although there is a debate on artificial intelligence (AI) instead of jobs, it has already begun to replace apps. The Microsoft Lens app, which was launched as a document scanning tool in 2015, is retiring as the company recommends users to use the Coalt app instead.
On its support page, Tech Dev said that the lens app will retire from iOS and Android Market Place on September 15. Then, after November 15, the Microsoft app will stop supporting, though those who have previously installed the app will be able to scan new documents. Finally, this qualification will be snatched even after December 2025. After that, consumers can only access old scans from the Messean section.
Specifically, Microsoft first released the app aim for its Windows Phone Devices. At that time, it was called office lenses, and unlike other third -party tools, which either requires buying the app or purchase for premium properties, offered all features for free.
By offering alternatives, Tech Dev is now recommending users to use copelot for all their documents scanning needs. On the mobile app, users can open the menu and go directly to the creation tab to scan their documents. The desktop app and the website can also perform the task when indicated.
However, Microsoft highlighted that some lens app features are not available in the Palot app. These include saving one note, word, or scanning in powerPoint, scanning business cards in the One note, reading the documents aloud, and the integration of a deep reader.
