Google Lens already helps you search for stuff via pictures, which is handy if you want to know what a particular type of plant is or what a statue is called. Now though, it\u2019s getting a few new features to help you be more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From today, you\u2019ll be able to use the notes copy\/paste feature \u2014 which lets you save text from paper documents to your phone \u2014 on your computer as well. Just tap \u201ccopy to computer\u201d to paste the text on to any other device that\u2019s signed-in with\u00a0Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lens can already help you\u00a0translate\u00a0words into other languages when you point your camera at them, now, it\u2019ll help you learn how to pronounce them, too. Just select the text and tap the new \u201clisten\u201d button to have the word or phrase read out loud. Finally, Lens can now help you figure out concepts that you don\u2019t understand \u2014 in-line with\u00a0Google search results, you can select words to learn more about them. Not sure what gravitational waves are? Tap the phrase and Lens will bring up relevant search results to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These aren\u2019t major changes, but they\u2019re certainly enough to make Lens a more useful tool \u2014 and provide an interesting way to kill time while you\u2019re at home. All these features roll out today, except for the listen function, which is available on Android now and coming to iOS soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
