- Google lens makes it easy to drive searches based on pictures that make you snatch from your phone’s camera.
- The lens has supported the shutter button and supported the search for hold.
- Now you can do the same with a new “asking” button dedicated to the voice input.
Google Lens Circle Circle Two Search may not be as shiny as anything, but the image analysis device in overlook has been a reliable work horses that are getting better and better. Like everything in Google’s stable, it recently means pumping it full of everything, such as a direct dialogue device that is starting to begin widely. Today we saw another increase in the lens, Google added a clear new way to access a feature that you may not even know.
Usually when you are using the lens, you take a picture, Google makes its initial analysis, and presents you with some visual matches. If you have more specific questions, you want to address Google, you are free to follow them.
But he does not need to work like this. Instead of taping and waiting, the lens has also supported the sound search from the beginning of your inquiry. To pull it, you will press the shutter button in the lens and hold it, then ask your question loudly. Although this default to use the entire icon as input, instead of isolating a particular item in it first, it allows you to move things a bit quickly when you find out what you are looking for.
The biggest problem, though, is that it has not been extremely intuitive – and unless anyone has ever crowded you, there is a suitable opportunity that you will never realize that holding the button was an option that would change the device’s behavior.
This is finally changing, as Google has added a new “asking” button to the right of the shutter in the lens, as well as a microphone icon that clearly interacts for sound input.
In our tests, suppressing the shutter button and holding exactly similar tasks as holding, and while a ton of waste is not necessarily no big thing, at least now it is impossible to leave the sound of sound lenses.
We are seeing that buttons on several devices run by different versions of the Google Android app, so it seems that this change has already moved forward.
