Needs a black & white conversion so we can scan and export to PDF documents!

Convert document to monochrome and save with correct compression (eg CCITT) and not as black and white jpg with fuzzy edges. Office scanner save good compression, but all phone scanners that I have tried save as JPG incl OneDrive/office lens

I believe that office lens in onedrive has this feature. I would like to see an "apply all filter" option so I don's have to manually select the filter for multi page documents. Feel free to email me if I am missing something.

I completely agree - we need a way to clean up images - would definitely use this app if scans looked clean instead of a printed camera picture

Please!!! This is ridiculous. Not only is there not a trued black/white scan, but your app doesn't correct for color casting. The ones I did have a distinct blue tint/hue to them. The color scan needs to at least give a white-balance option. Or, just buy Evernote and include the best of their stuff in OneNote (document and business card scanning & universal sync of notebooks like a dropbox account).

Amazed that this still doesn't have this option! Way behind competitors, it's barely more than a camera without the black and white "true scanning" option. Uninstalling and returning to my previous app until it is sorted

Useless to me without a monochrome option. Please add this, the app looks good otherwise. Thanks.

Office Lens PDFs (in Whiteboard mode) come out with a dingy grey background. If I try to print them on a black and white printer it looks like a grey box around the entire page. Please make a true white background color or a monochrome option.

I still want the ability to scan in color. But having the option to scan in black and white or setting a default to black and white is a great idea.

black and white conversion espescially for printing docs

Agreed! Documents I scan with "scannable" come out with the page background looking a crisp white instead of some shade of grey with lens. This is the only thing keeping me from deleting the other app at this point. I would love to be able to tweak images afterwards as well as the previous commenter suggested. Perhaps an edit button that would bring up sliders for both colour and contrast could be an easy way to implement it.

I don't know anyone that actually scans a document in color. Maybe have the document setting to default as black and white?

A button after the shot is taken under edit for white balance as the Fluro lights turn power point presentations into a blue paper
