Google Lens, which enables text to be classified on pictures, has now been advanced and easily available on the web browser version of the Photos application. The feature already operates on Android and iOS and is a beneficial way to switch text from an image into a transcribed text. Google uses a characteristic known as optical character acknowledgment (OCR), to classify text on an image that the user can comfortably copy-paste.

While examining the innovation on Google Photos on the desktop variant of Chrome, we remarked that Google automatically identifies any image with text on it and provides us the possibility to mimic text from the picture.
