Office Lens — a portable scanner for mobile devices and one of Microsoft's most impressive Office apps — is now out of preview and available on the Google Play Store.

The app lets users take a photo of "any rectangular media," and then converts it into an easily shareable, searchable document, in Word, PowerPoint, or PDF — similar to what other scanning apps already offer, although Microsoft includes tighter integration with Office, and is making the app available for free.

Office Lens previously launched on iPhone last month, along with the preview version for Android, and today Microsoft is releasing the final version.
