Google has introduce more features to the Google Lens in the desktop version of Google Chrome. As it is now capable of doing more than just regular image search.
This update also offers Text, Translate, and Find image source tools.
These and more options have been available for quite a while on the Google app for smartphones.
But it is unclear when Google rolled out this update.
The new tools are now widely available on Google Chrome for Windows, Chrome OS, and Mac.
The Google Lens search result page on the desktop version of Google Chrome shows three new options.
Text tool automatically identifies the text in an image, and allows you to select any amount of text.
You can then copy, or listen to the select text.
It can be use to make another Google search or open separately on the Google Translate site.
Also, there is a dedicate Translate tool that opens a UI similar to the mobile app.
Google Lens is program to automatically identify the language.
You can also manually select the language pairings.
The Find image source tool takes you to Google Images.
This option is to have been added to rectify the problem cause by replacing the Image Search option entirely with Google Lens.
This tool allows you to upload an image or screenshot of a webpage to Google Images and search for results.
A recent report has given an idea at the Google Lens feature being added to the Google Search homepage for Chrome on desktops.
The Lens icon was supposedly spot on google.com while surfing in Incognito Mode on Chrome.
The icon was the same as the current Google Lens icon that appears on the Search bar on Android.
