Nowadays, you don’t need to type already written texts anymore. There’s a smarter and better way to copy texts and images and it can be done easily with Google lens. In this discussion, I will be explaining how to copy texts from images using Google Lens.
Google Lens is one of the recent products introduced by Google. It is an app that lets you copy text from images without any stress.
Uses of Google Lens
Just by taking a shot of an object that has text inscribed on them, you can easily copy the text and use in a lot of ways. For example, you have the solution to your assignment in a textbook but you are required to submit in a typed format. All you have to do is just to take a shot of that page and let Google Lens do the rest.
Apart from this, you can use Google Lens to load recharge vouchers by just taking a shot of the voucher and copy the required pin right from your screen. Then you proceed to the dialer and paste the recharge pin copied with the help of Google Lens.
With a recent feature added to Google Lens, you can write/transcribe any text written legibly on a plain sheet for the app to discover. This way, you save yourself from the time consumed when typing, especially if you’re not too fast at it.
In case you have some texts written in a foreign language you don’t understand, just take a shot so you can select the text and translate.
The tool is very simple to use and will help you copy texts from images on anything at all, be it notebooks, textbooks, calendars, newspapers, recharge voucher, billboards, signpost, calendars, business cards walls and other things.
