What Is Google Lens? 6 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do

Google Lens is a powerful search tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to understand and identify images in the real world. It is integrated into Google Photos and Google Assistant, and allows users to search for information about objects, landmarks, plants, and animals simply by pointing their camera phone on the said subject. It can also recognize and translate text in real-time, and even identify products and provide shopping links. But that’s not all Google Lens can do! Here are six things you might not know you can do with this innovative technology:

1. Identify dog breeds – Do you ever see a dog and find yourself wondering what breed it is? Google Lens can help! Just snap a photo, and it will identify the breed and provide some basic information about the dog.

2. Check your Wi-Fi network – Want to know your Wi-Fi network’s name and password? Take a photo of your router with Google Lens! It will pull up your network information and display it on your screen.

3. Copy and paste text – Google Lens can recognize text in any image, making it easy to copy and paste from real-world documents. Simply take a photo of the text with Google Lens, and it’ll scan the text and let you copy it to your clipboard.

4. Scan QR codes – Many businesses use QR codes to provide additional information about their products or services. With Google Lens, you can scan a QR code to get more information about a product, access a website, or even make a purchase.

5. Identify landmarks – Google Lens can recognize famous landmarks and tourist attractions, providing a brief history and relevant information. Just point your camera at a landmark, and Google Lens will tell you everything you need to know.

6. Recognize art – If you’re a fan of art, Google Lens can provide some extra fun by recognizing famous works of art. Just snap a photo of a painting, sculpture or other artwork, and Google Lens will tell you about the artist, history, and other notable facts about the piece.

Google Lens is an incredibly powerful tool that can help you in so many ways, from identifying dog breeds to translating foreign languages. Once you start using it, you’ll likely discover more and more ways to utilize this innovative technology in your daily life.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
