Microsoft Lens for iOS or Android allows you to scan notes, photos, whiteboards and other types of documents through your mobile device.

Download and install the Office Lens app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Open the app and give it the necessary permission to access your photos and camera.

Point your device’s camera at the document you want to scan and select the format that best matches the item you are scanning (ie: whiteboard, document, business card, or photo). Turn the flash on or off or set it to automatic. To best capture the item, position your device so the border frames it and then snap the picture.

Once you have taken the photo you can edit it by pinching with your fingers, using the crop tool, adding text etc. When you are finished editing you can select Add New to capture a subsequent page of your document or select Done if you have finished.

You can then share it. The Export to options are vast and you can also change the Title at this point.
