Using Google Lens to identify items in a photo

When you open any photo in Google Photos, you will see a button at the bottom meant to look like a camera lens. That is Google Lens and it is amazing. Open any photo, using Google Photos, and tap that button - it will analyze the current photo and tell you all sorts of things! Identify flowers, birds, insects. Translate and copy text, scan QR codes, identify products and give you links to buy them. And much more.



Google Lens Examples

The following are photos in my Google Photos. When I tap on the lens button, it analyzes the photos and gives me remarkable results.



Lens will tell you the name of this Arch in Utah

Lens will identify these birds

Lens will translate this billboard

Lens can copy the text from this certificate, making it editable in a document
Lens can scan this business card and dial the phone number, send an email, or even add to your contacts

Lens can identify the type of this turtle.

Lens can identify this book and give you a link to buy it.

Lens can scan this QR code and give you the link to watch the video.

Lens will identify this product and give you links where you can buy it

  2. I have tried this. My phone freezes and I have to reset and hit photo to take a picture, sometimes missing the whole point of using it. I will read more thoroughly the write up, but it has not been a great use for me.

  3. If you did not receive a digital editing software package with your camera, then there are plenty of options out there when it comes to digital photo editing software and some of them are even available for free to be downloaded from the internet. remove image background photoshop

  11. Global automakers have been frantically attempting to develop a sustainable and green alternative to fossil fuels for a long time. The environmental damage is not a hidden result of burning fossil fuels around all over the world. And now, the need to switch from fuels-based vehicles to other environmental-friendly sustainable and green alternative vehicles is more than ever.
