Capture notes on whiteboards, handwritten memos, sketches, drawings, images and equations, and convert them to PDFs. Office Lens gets rid of shadows and odd angles so images are easier to read. You can upload documents and whiteboard images to Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, or OneDrive. PDFs can also be shared via Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom. Some suggested activities include:

• Capture content - Teachers and students can use their mobile devices to quickly capture a picture of the whiteboard at the end of the lesson and/or meeting so that they have a copy of the notes.
• Make digital copies - Create digital copies of printed documents, such as assignments or posters.
• Utilise immersive reader - Take a photo of notes written on a whiteboard and convert it to a Word document so it can be edited. Once in Word, users can turn on the Immersive Reader function, which comes with a variety of accessibility tools.
