Google Lens is one of the useful tools, which comes with Android smartphones (with GMS) out of the box within the Google app. The search giant has now added a new feature, which enables users to copy-paste their handwritten notes.
There are lots of apps on the Play Store and App Store that helps in scanning handwritten text. But getting this functionality without installing any third-party app is a boon for Android users. However, iOS users will have to install Google App.
The new copy-paste feature can help users copy their handwritten notes and paste it in their phone or even on a computer. All they need is the updated Google App on their smartphones and the latest Google Chrome on their computers.
To use this feature, users will have to access Google Lens on their smartphones first. Android users can do it by installing the standalone Google Lens app, in addition to updating the Google App. They can even access it by provoking Google Assistant. Whereas, iOS users can only access it through the Google App.
Then, point smartphone’s camera to their desired handwritten notes, highlight it and copy. The data can be now pasted in the phone as well as in Google Docs by accessing it on Chrome on a computer. Do note that same account should be signed in on both Google app on smartphone and Google Chrome on computer.
Anyway, the text prediction will depend on how legible the user’s handwriting is to Google’s AI algorithm.
