What is Google Lens?
Google Lens allows users to search the world around them using their camera or an existing image. Instead of typing keywords, you can point your device at an object, text, or scene to get relevant information and perform actions. It's designed to understand what you're looking at and connect you with helpful results.
This tool integrates visual recognition technology to identify various items such as clothing, furniture, plants, and animals. It also features real-time text translation across numerous languages and allows users to copy text directly from images. Additionally, Lens can provide step-by-step assistance for homework problems across subjects like math, history, and science by linking to explainers and relevant web results.
