Google the world around you Google Goggles is an awesome mobile app that allows you to use your phone to search the web for the objects you see around you. The newest version of Google Goggles is nothing short of amazing. The handy app works like this: use it to take a picture of anything you see around you – barcodes, newspaper ads, landmarks, logos, wine labels – and Google Goggles will recognize the object, search for it on the web, and present you with the most likely explanation, link or description of the object you photographed. The Google Goggles interface is very simple – your phone's camera is overlaid with a grid. There's a large button to take the image, a crop function to get a better focus and a flashlight, for using the app in the dark. There aren't any configuration options – instead, you have a getting started tutorial and lots of online help. You'll also be able to use Google Goggles to investigate a photo that's already stored on your phone, or to enable search history.
[2] On October 5, 2010, Google announced availability of Google Goggles for devices running iOS 4. 0. [3] In a May 2014 update to Google Mobile for iOS, the Google Goggles feature was removed. At Google I/O 2017, a similar app, Google Lens was announced that has similar functions as Goggles and uses the Google Assistant. [4] The app was officially discontinued on August 20, 2018 with its last update directing users to download Google Lens or Google Photos upon launching the app. [5] [6] Features [ edit] The system could identify various labels or landmarks, allowing users to learn about such items without needing a text-based search. The system could identify products barcodes or labels that allow users to search for similar products and prices, and save codes for future reference, similar to the CueCat from late 1990s. The system also recognized printed text and uses optical character recognition (OCR) to produce a text snippet, and in some cases even translate the snippet into another language.
