The World at Your Fingertips: Google Lens

Now You’re Speaking My Language

If you are like me, I have an affinity for trying new foods. The best places are generally the hole in the wall places you hear about from a friend and are usually as authentic as it gets. Along with that can be a language barrier. My favorite Korean restaurant has many things in Korean. That is no longer a problem! Scan it with Google Lens and hit “Translate”. I can now order like a pro! No matter what your translation needs are, you can scan the image, poster, menu, etc and read it in your native language.
                              

I Love Your Shoes!

Have you ever been standing next to a stranger, looked down and realized their shoes are the best things since sliced bread? Too shy to ask them where they got them? Easily find where to buy them by snapping a picture and searching “Shopping” on Google Lens. PSA, you might want to ask if you can take a picture, but most people will be excited if you love their shoes as much as they do and agree.

I Just Saw the Best Quote

Motivational Monday sometimes hits me when I see the best quote printed on a side of a building or on a shop wall. Simply snap a picture and ask Google Lens to capture the text. Best thing is you can save the text and share it via Google Apps. One better, you can have it read the text to you!! Amazing, right? Now be motivated any day of the week when you save your favorite text in your Google Drive or Google Keep.

Is That Poison Ivy?

Leaves of three, let them be. Except when I don’t know if that plant has three leaves or are those just three parts to the leaves? Take a picture and identify the plant! Hiking or simply walking in the park doesn’t have to be so perilous. This also works for animals as well! Want to know what that bird that keeps circling you while you are trying to enjoy nature? Take a picture and search! Try not to get too close to the animal before taking a picture. We do not want to make the news about local animal attacks. There are better ways to become famous.

Remember Algebra? Me either…

I vaguely remember doing some kind of mystical math using letters and numbers in high school, but it was so long ago. Google Lens can produce step by step help after simply taking a picture of the problem! Become the expert in your household and amaze with your step by step help on all of those crazy problems that mix numbers and letters!
