Google Lens has been updated in iOS and Android and now allows you to send your handwritten notes to a computer via Chrome.
Google Lens announced a new update that allows you to copy the text of your handwritten notes and then send them to your computer. This feature consists of focusing the text with your lens camera, selecting it, and using the “Copy to my computer” option. You can then paste it from a window opened in chrome on your laptop or desktop.
This function requires that both the mobile phone and the computer are signed with the same user account and that the latest version of Chrome is installed on the computer. . A similar option was already available, although it only allowed sending the text to the phone.
The ability to copy our notes directly to the computer should increase productivity. The new feature was announced by Lou Wang, Product Manager at Lens, who pointed out other options that are integrated into the company’s recognition system.

Simply select the text and a search for the term will be performed, providing direct access to Wikipedia and other results.
The update with these features is now available for Lens on iOS and Android. The only feature that will not be available on Apple devices is the ability to listen to the selected text, although this will be integrated later.
