    Lame product

    Date: Jun 12 2023
    Summary

    I have tried to use this thing on dozens of things around the house and every single result set was so far off that I am really honestly beginning to believe that this is a prank app. I do not recommend wasting your time on Google Lens.

    Positive

    I liked nothing about Google lens. It is far and away the lamest most frustrating app that I have ever tried.

    Negative

    I didn't like anything about Google lens. It was a total waste of my time.

    Works Amazing

    Updated: Mar 16 2022
    Summary

    My overall experience with the lens is quite good, but as I mentioned the accuracy needs a lot more improvement, and then it is good to go.

    Positive

    - It has amazing algorithm which helps to find similar objects/products across the internet.
    - It can extract texts from an image. The user just need to click an image and then simply select the text from the image and copy and then can paste anywhere he wants.
    - It also works amazingly when scanning QR codes. It instantly scans the code and opens the required site or information.

    Negative

    - Since the app is made by Google, so it might be collecting your data, which can be a matter of concern for some users.
    - The accuracy level while finding similar products is not that great and sometimes show irrelevant products that has no relation with the product I scanned.

    Date: Aug 27 2022
    Summary

    The main benefit that I have obtained with this platform is that it has helped me to carry out searches in my day to day, when I go to a restaurant I can carry out an Internet search just by taking a picture of the menu, in addition, I can also search how calls a specific place just by taking a picture of it, the technology and recognition that this application has is impressive, it really helps me to search for all kinds of things with just the camera of my phone. In addition, this platform has also been key to translating any language when on business trips, for example, when I go to another country and I don't understand the language used there, I can easily use my phone's camera to translate a specific text, The translation within this application is fantastic, with just your camera you can translate any text. In addition, you can use the photos that you have stored inside your mobile device, you need to search for a motel and it has the photo, you can find the name of that hotel with just that photo, this technology is impressive. My experience has been pleasant at all times and I hope it continues to be so.

One of the main things I liked about this platform were:

    1.- This platform is capable of searching for something on the Internet from the text that you have within the joke. This means that if you point to a text with the phone's camera, that text will be used to perform a search within Google, this It is one of the main functions and tools that Google Lens has, there are many more options to perform a much more specific search of what you are pointing with the phone.

    2.- Another of the perfect tools and functions of this platform is that you can carry out a specific search in relation to a meal, menu or restaurant, that means that if you need to search for a menu in a store you only have to point the camera at the logo of that store, the corresponding menu will be immediately searched thanks to this impressive function, which helps you make a much more specific search for what you are pointing your camera at.

    3.- Another thing that I like about this platform is that it is capable of converting an image to text, that means that if you point the phone at an image or some text that is written in an image, the platform will automatically recognize this text and will allow you to copy them to transfer elsewhere or to a note. This function is very important and it helps you to extract a text without the need to type it manually, it is really beneficial.

    4.- With this platform you can also translate a text, for example, if you are in a country where you do not handle the language of that country correctly, with the help of this application you can point the camera of your phone at some text specific, immediately this application to recognize that text and translate it into any language you want, this function is very important to use day after day, it helps you translate anything.

    Negative

    Within this platform I have not noticed any type of negative characteristic, since I started using it I have only noticed positive characteristics because this platform has been key to searching for all kinds of things on the Internet thanks to the camera of my phone, the recognition of this application is what stands out the most within it, recognition works positively at all times, it is capable of recognizing any type of text, image or anything else you are pointing at with the phone's camera. I have never presented any type of failure or bug within the platform. In addition, it is fantastic that you can use this application without having to pay any plan for it, you do not have to pay any additional fee for searching thanks to this application. I hope to continue having this positive experience without any failures.
