Sometimes it’s nice to have a simple app that does one thing well without a lot of fuss.

Microsoft Lens was that type of app: a mobile document scanner that turned paper documents, business cards, receipts, and anything else into easily readable digital files.

I was gonna say I didn't even know it did these things, but then realized I was thinking of Google Lens 🤪 use better names for your products, people.
