"Google Lens" in Chrome for PC learned to recognize and translate text in pictures

The desktop version of Google Lens that comes with Chrome has received a major update. Now the service allows not only to recognize objects in pictures, but also to recognize text, as well as translate it.

All these functions work by right-clicking on the image and selecting "Find with Google Lens".

A new window will open with three buttons in the picture to search for objects and work with text. The language will be recognized automatically, and the translated text itself will be displayed both on the picture and to the right of it. The text can be opened in the "Translator" (Google Translate) and quickly copied.

Another useful innovation is designed to partly solve the problem with the replacement standard search by pictures. We are talking about the new button "Find image source", which is displayed in the picture above after clicking "Find through Google Lens".

This button allows you to open a new search page, from where you can already go to similar images or to a possible source, where this image is available in maximum resolution.

All innovations are available in Chrome 100 for Mac, Windows and Chrome OS. Refresh your browser to access them.
