That’s really cool that you can translate languages from Google lenses. I didn’t know that.

How can you assist google lens by describing the image with text? Example, you have a painting and you want to find more images by a certain artist. Google used to allow an advanced fine tune search by adding a description to the results. I miss this function. Please help.. Jeff

In reply to David Sofio. David Google Lens is a great for allowing you to search for text in photos and more. The tool is however designed to recognise and copy text, and not the image itself in the process.

Sue – I’d dearly love to print – directly – translations of things like instruction sheets, signs, etc. Can’t find a way to get those translated images to a printer, other than extracting the text, which would take it all out of the pictorial context. There must be a way, right?

I am sight challenged and when reading on a computer have no issues because of zoom. But a regular page of text is a real challenge, so much so I have abandoning reading any printed books and prefer them as eBooks. BUT now, with Google Lens, I aim the phone at the page, press text, capture all, and then press listen. This app has literally now changed the quality of my life. Thanks Google Lens

This is vary useful for identifying things. If you haven’t seen an item before, the Google Lens can help you identify it. I didn’t know this thing even exsisted. But dose it only work on just items or other things?

I think I would like to try Google Lens with my six grade students. This would teach my students that social media can be for learning and not just for games and socializing. This would make Science more fun as well and get the students out of the classroom.

Hi Frank

It is incredible how far their visual recognition software has come! Thanks for sharing the tip about QR codes. I hadn’t thought of QR codes. I’ve added the information to the post and thanked you for sharing the tip.
