Although iOS has begun to provide the original text OCR function, it feels somewhat like a tribute to the Google Lens smart lens. But on the other hand, Apple’s determination to quickly add such features to its own ecosystem, including tablets and even Mac computers, is worth learning from Google.
In this regard, Google also quickly promoted the relevant recognition functions of smart lenses to many people through the Chrome browser across multiple platforms, and further promoted the image search by right-clicking in a very intuitive way, making it available to many people. But do you really know how useful Google Lens is on the desktop version? Continue reading Google Lens desktop version helps you easily identify images, copy text, and translate content.

Google Lens desktop version helps you easily identify images, copy text, and translate content. This article teaches you how to use it.
Although Google has previously integrated with its own ecosystem, using the “Copy to Computer” shortcut button on the interface, you can quickly transfer the results recognized by the smart lens on your mobile device to your desktop computer for use. However, if you can use the Chrome browser directly on your computer, you can use these advanced Google Lens features. I believe that for desktop system users who mainly focus on work applications, this is an experience that can greatly increase productivity.
After the recent Chrome update that added Google Lens smart lens search directly for right-clicking on images, we also noticed it. This image search function on the desktop system is also on par with the mobile version, and has introduced ultra-convenient functions including instant text copying and even direct translation of text on images.
First, in addition to right-clicking on the image that appears on the webpage and selecting “Search for images using Google Lens” to enter the Google Lens search interface. You can also select “Pictures” in the upper right corner of the Google search page to enter the smart lens search page (Click here to go) to start uploading images or start using this feature for image searches.
In addition to the original search results of the image search page, you can also switch to the OCR text recognition function by selecting “Text” at the bottom – the recognized text content will be highlighted with highlight; the framed text can be copied directly by selecting the range with the mouse; the right side will also quickly bring up the search results based on the framed content.
I believe everyone will be able to draw inferences very quickly! That’s right, the “Translate” button at the bottom is a function that can help you translate content. In addition to selecting the language through the interface as shown above (in fact, the automatic detection is quite accurate).
The most powerful thing about the Google Lens interface is that when switching to the translation function, the translated text can directly overlay the original text display. Under this interface, you can also directly select highlighted text to copy (so convenient!).
Overall, although the Google Lens function on the desktop is not as simple as the mobile version, it is as simple as pointing the camera at menus and other objects to take pictures. But the other experiences are basically the same, and even the desktop version actually feels better able to handle more image search and copy work. Speaking of which, I feel that the system does not support updating Mac users who use original text, so this function should be more suitable!
Dear old Mac users, please raise your hands if you think you can help me (eh).
