Simply hold up your phone running office lens to any document such as an invoice or receipt, wait for it to read it and put a border around what it thinks it wants you to scan, (A steady hand helps here.) then tap the screen to turn it into a scan. It even has OCR (optical character recognition) built in to the final image!

This app is really versatile, allowing you to share the scan, or search it for particular words or sentences.

It handles angles really well too, evening out the distance so that the scan appears head on.
