With this free app Office Lense you can take pictures of text documents with the camera of a Android, iOS or Windows device and convert them into documents. The app used to convert the information from the photo into a Word document. 

Now there is a message on the updated Office Lense status page about the end of support of the Windows 10 app.

Important: Certain cloud-based services in Office Lens for Windows, such as saving your pictures to OneDrive, OneNote, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF, will become unavailable after December 31, 2020. You can continue to use other features of the app as installed on your device. In addition, Office Lens for Windows 10 will no longer be available for download from the Microsoft Store as of January 1, 2021. To continue to enjoy all Office Lens features, we recommend downloading and using the latest version of Office Lens for iOS or Office Lens for Android on your mobile device.

Downloading the app for Windows 10 will no longer be possible after December 31, 2020. In addition, the synchronization with the cloud (OneDrive, OneNote, Word, PowerPoint) or the creation of PDF documents will no longer be possible. But you can continue to use the Windows 10 app to store the scanned documents locally. And you could, if you wanted, switch to the Android and iOS apps from Office Lense. Final question: Does any of you use Office Lense at all?
