Google Lens adds handwriting copying to a computer

The ability to copy handwritten text from real life to a smartphone has been around for a long time and now moves to a new phase, which is more useful when it is no longer limited to phones but can transfer content to desktop and laptop.

For example, you have noted some content on paper and want to email or edit on a PC but have no intention of retyping it all, now just open the Google Lens app, hold up the camera and select the area Text to be copied, then select the 'Copy to computer' feature.

The tool will paste the selected text (possibly from printed text, whiteboards or handwritten notes) to a computer with the same account logged in on Chrome browser. Google says that copying text to a computer requires Chrome to be available for the latest update.

Not stopping there, the program can also learn how to pronounce new words, search for concepts that users do not understand quickly. According to Android Authority , this is a newly added feature to help users improve their ability to pronounce difficult words. All users need to do is select the word they want to look up the pronunciation with the Lens tool and select 'Listen' on the screen so that the system reads that word through the external speaker clearly.

During the reading process, some concepts can be confusing to the average user and Lens is also available to support this problem. For example, when reading a book to the section that says 'Quantum physics', you simply open Google Lens, select the word and let the Google Search feature define the definition.
