Turn your mobile phone into a scanner

If you’re working remotely and need to scan documents or receipts to share with colleagues, it can be painful trying to take the perfect photo. But did you know your phone can replace a flatbed scanner?

The Microsoft Office app includes a built‑in scanning tool that’s perfect for capturing documents on the go.

How to use it

• Open the Microsoft Office app on your phone
• Tap the camera icon
• Choose what you’re scanning – document, whiteboard, or notes

The app automatically:

• Crops the image
• Improves text clarity
• Converts it to PDF or Word

Why this is useful

• Great for receipts, handwritten notes, or schoolwork
• No extra scanner or app required
• Saves straight to OneDrive so it’s ready on your computer

Small feature - big time saver.
