Lens has successfully helped me identify dozens of buildings, towns, gardens all around Europe in photos I took over twenty years ago but have since lost my diary record. A very useful, time saving app. I also use it regularly to successfully translate less familiar languages (Japanese, Icelandic, etc) but strangely it gives varying translations according to how far the device is held from the text. Nevertheless it always provides useful insights.

This has helped me so many times trying to figure out what things were, but the real winner here is the translate option! I've never used it before until now! I recently bought something where the instructions were in another language. Pulled up Google Lens and was able to translate it. I actually started my screen recorder, and I clicked the "listen" open to have it read. Now when I go to put this together, I'll just play the screen recording and pause it whenever I need to!

I have used Google Lens for so many things from, identifying where to buy certain things to translations from screenshots. They continue to upgrade the service, and it has to be one of my fundamental tools. It can even help you identify where you are and then will automatically open maps to let you know what attractions etc are around you. Cheers guys, keep up the good work and updates 😁🍻
