ABOUT GOOGLE LENS:


Google Lens is an image recognition technology developed by Google, designed to
bring up relevant information related to objects it identifies using visual analysis based
on a neural network. First announced during Google I/O 2017,it was first provided as a
standalone app, later upbeing integrated into Google Camera but was reportedly
removed in October 2022. It has also been integrated with the Google Photos and
Google Assistant app and with Bard (now Gemini) as of 2023.

FEATURES OF “Google Lens”

1. Copy Text from the Real World: One of the features that I use the most in

Google Lens is its ability to copy text from the real world.

2.Detect Flowers, Animals, Paintings, and More:Google Lens is also pretty


good at detecting flowers, animals, famous paintings, and a lot of other stuff
like landmarks.

3. Add Contacts, Businesses by Scanning Visiting Cards:Another use-case


that you might find handy, especially if you meet a lot of people who hand you
visiting cards, is Google Lens’ ability to add contacts by simply scanning a
business card

4. Scan URLs from PC to Open in Mobile:Have you ever visited a website on


your laptop and then wanted to visit the same website on your smartphone
instead? With Google Lens, that’s easy.

5. Add Events by Scanning Tickets:Google Lens can also help you keep a
track of events you need to attend, or that you bought tickets to. You don’t
have to manually enter them into your calendar anymore.

6. Get Restaurant Reviews and Ratings:If you’re anything of a city-explorer or


a traveller, you must’ve found yourself in situations where you’re looking at a
bunch of restaurant store-fronts, unable to figure out which one to head
into.The only reason I’m mentioning this feature at the end is because I
personally don’t use it that often.

7. Shopping and Style Match:The only reason I’m mentioning this feature at
the end is because I personally don’t use it that often.
8. Translate in Real-time:Google keeps integrating its services into various
apps and this time, Google Translate has made its way to Google Lens.

9. Scan QR Codes and Barcodes:Another addition to Google Lens is support


for QR codes and Barcodes. While this feature was already live in some
countries.
