I dont scan stuff often but I used Lense. It was annoying before but it did its jobs: I can take pictures of my documents and it automatically cropped out and joined together as a pdf.

I need to scan something today and so try to use Lens. Holy shit it is soooo annoying now:

  • Must sign in to MS account

  • Must download an additional app: The MS 365 Copilot app. The app still has the tag (Beta) on the Play store fyi…

  • It is not easy to choose where you want to save the documents. Now every pdfs default to Documents/Office Lense. .Or maybe we can still choose. Idk i uninstalled the apps after scanning.

    I downloaded an old version of lens from before the more annoying one drive integrations. I also made it stop auto updating.

    To give you the whole picture I tried using several apps and none of them really did it. One of the big issues is I don’t want a fucking PDF I just wanted a photograph of the document.
