Google Lens was more or less an all-rounder, but there is another nice feature: copying handwritten text so that you can paste it to your computer. It is therefore no longer necessary to manually typewritten text. It must be neat handwriting.
Google Lens Makes Your Camera Smart
With Google Lens, your phone camera turns into a search engine. The app can detect objects via your camera using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

You can then do all kinds of useful things with it. For example, searching for comparable products, recognizing animals and plants, discovering books and media, scanning codes, and also scanning and copying texts and, for example, translating them directly.
How It Works
Since the latest Google Lens update, the app has also been able to recognize handwritten text. A matter of pointing the camera at, for example, a note and selecting the desired text.
The text should be recognized and converted to normal letters. Then you can copy and paste the text to another app.
You can also easily paste the copied text directly into a Google Docs document. That way you can also have the text on your computer, provided you are logged in to the same Google account as your computer via Google Chrome.
But you can also email the text to yourself or someone else, for example.
Write Neatly!
A prerequisite for this piece of digital magic is that you have somewhat neat handwriting. Even then Google sometimes drops stitches, but in general many first users are positive about the new function.
Speak Words
With the Lens update, Chrome can now also pronounce words. When you select text via the app, you will see the ‘Listen’ function.

According to Google, this is useful in situations where a user tries to learn a new language and comes across a word where the pronunciation is unclear.
