Office Lens

For Microsoft enthusiasts the Office Lens is the new camera built into OneNote that lets you take pictures of whiteboards, or printed documents, then enhances the photo by cropping, sharpening and straightening it, so it looks almost like a scanned image. Lastly, the picture is added to the note, so that it can be retrieved later. If you select the business card option while scanning a data, the save screen only shows Gallery and OneNote as optional places to save it. It saves to OneNote in a Notebook called Contacts, making easy and efficient saving of a contact. To get the most out of the app, Office 365 is mandatory, but still it will work fine with a free Microsoft account like Live, Outlook or Hotmail.

CamScanner

Supported on both Android and iOS, CamScanner turns the mobile phone actually into a portable scanner with which all the paper documents, receipts, notes, whiteboard discussions can be archived anywhere and at anytime. The app handles document and image scanning as well as QR codes. Even in the free version, the application users can scan and manage Bill, Invoice, Contract, Tax Roll, Business Card, Whiteboard, Memo, Script, Letter, Blackboard, Note, PPT, Book, Article, Credential, Certificate, and Identity Documents.
