Oh come on, why? What the fuck. Extremely frustrating as this is something I’ve been using for more or less ten years. The fact it can be used on whiteboards and paper is immeasurably useful.
These stupid decisions to force AI into everything while not replacing any of the existing functionality should be considered crimes. The point of Lens is that it takes almost perfect scans in place of a scanner, and correctly scans whiteboards too.
I’m guessing the people that decided to kill it off believe having “AI” summarising text in a document is somehow equivalent.
I just use its fantastic border detection to scan documents to images. iOS notes can generate PDFs from a photo but I found it cumbersome. Any alternative?
You don’t need to use notes, you can scan documents directly from the files app by long pressing anywhere in a folder, or using scan documents from the … menu.
I think they have the functionality integrated into the OneDrive and Office apps. Not sure if they intend to remove those features but it might be a play at upselling the users.

We truly are at peak of enshitification.
Adobe Scan looks promising.

Switched to Quickscan later because it also integrates nicely with paperless-ngx.
