Google Lens Scan

According to lens.google, Google Lens is a camera-based search feature that detects information from images, text and barcodes.

Google Lens is also a smart platform that is capable of copying and translating text, identifying images or locations and finding similar objects.

Apart from that, Google Lens can also help us to find the information we are looking for or need through an image.

The way Google Lens works is very simple. Namely, comparing the objects in the searched image against other images and providing a ranking based on similarity or relevance to the original image object.

Plus, from these images Google Lens also uses signals that can detect text, barcodes, location, language, shops and school or college assignments.

From the results of the analysis, Google will later display results that match the search.

Not only can it be used on smartphones, but Google Lens can also be used on a PC, which helps users to find the information they need easily.
