Copy text directly to your PC with Google Lens
Until now, it was only possible to copy such text to the phone's clipboard. The new version of Google Lens allows copying this text also to our PC. When copying text, one of the options that will appear in the application is to copy it to the computer. It facilitates the passage between the two devices.How to use this Feature?
In order to use the new feature, you need to have the latest version of Google Chrome (Version 81.0.4044.138) as well as the standalone Google Lens app on Android or the Google app on iOS (where Lens can be accessed through a button next to the search bar). You’ll also need to be logged in to the same Google account on both devices.Here’s how you can use it;
If you have text in front of you, whether in a book or a photo, for example, Google Lens allows you to copy that text. When opening the application, you only have to select the text to copy, either part of it or an entire page. When this text is selected, the option to copy, among others, already appears, although until now it could only be copied on the phone.
Now, the application also makes it possible to copy this text to your PC, as long as you are signed in to Chrome with your Google account. Thanks to this function, it is easier to have this text of interest on the computer, avoiding having to copy it first to the phone, and then send it to the computer. The process is simpler this way.
In addition to the new copy-and-paste feature, Google is also rolling out a pronunciation tool -- This will allow knowing the pronunciation of the words, especially useful in the case of more complex words. It can be used with any language at first, so if you want to know how certain words are pronounced in another language when selecting the text there will be a listening function.
Just highlight a word in Lens, and tap “Listen” to hear how it’s pronounced. (This is available in Android now and coming to iOS soon.) You can also now look up concepts with Lens, searching for phrases like “gravitational waves” to get in-line Google search results. That’s potentially very handy if you’re doing schoolwork or helping your children with theirs.
These are welcome additions to Google Lens, which has always promised more than it really delivered. Having a visual search tool that can identify anything you stick in front of your phone is the dream of Lens, but it’s never quite been fast or reliable enough to make it a reality. These latest updates certainly push it in the right direction.
