Microsoft Lens alternative
The Microsoft Lens upgrade that actually reads.
If you scanned documents with Microsoft Lens, you know it makes a tidy image and then leaves the rest to you. LetterDesk captures a scan just as clean, then reads the page, files it, and carries the deadline. It is the difference between a picture of a letter and a letter that is handled.
Same clean scan, then the part Lens never did
A scanner captures paper. LetterDesk understands it.
Captures like a flatbed
Corner lock, light guidance, and automatic flattening give you a crisp, straight, glare-free scan of the whole page, the same quality you kept Lens around for.
Then it reads
LetterDesk pulls out the sender, the amount, and the deadline, and writes a plain-English summary. Your scan is not just stored, it is understood.
And files it for good
Every scan lands in the right category, dated and searchable, with reminders for anything due. No folders to build, no notebook to keep.
Moving off Microsoft Lens? LetterDesk imports cleanly by simply scanning your paper again, and from then on your documents live in one searchable archive on your iPhone and Mac. Nothing to export, nothing to migrate.
Switching questions
What people ask before moving over.
Is LetterDesk a good replacement for Microsoft Lens on iPhone?
Yes. LetterDesk gives you the same clean, flattened, glare-free scan Lens is known for, and adds reading, automatic filing, deadline reminders, and reply writing. For letters, bills, and official mail it does far more than a document camera.
Does it keep my scans as images or PDFs?
Every scanned page is kept in full and can be exported as a PDF or shared. The difference is that LetterDesk also understands the page, so you get a summary and the facts alongside the image.
Is there a free version?
Yes. Scanning, filing, search, and export are free and unlimited, with every scan read for the facts. Premium adds the full summary, reply writing, and encrypted backup.
Your mail, finally handled.
Scan the first scary letter in your pile and watch it turn calm.
