Google Lens can now copy and paste handwritten

[LEGEND67]

Google has added a very useful feature to Google Lens, its multipurpose object recognition tool. You can now copy and paste handwritten notes from your phone to your computer with Lens, though it only works if your handwriting is neat enough.


In order to use the new feature, you need to have the latest version of Google Chrome as well as the standalone Google Lens app on Android or the Google app on iOS (where Lens can be accessed through a button next to the search bar). You’ll also need to be logged in to the same Google account on both devices.

That done, simply point your camera at any handwritten text, highlight it on-screen, and select copy. You can then go to any document in Google Docs, hit Edit, and then Paste to paste the text. And voila — or, viola, depending on your handwriting.

These are welcome additions to Google Lens, which has always promised more than it really delivered. Having a visual search tool that can identify anything you stick in front of your phone is the dream of Lens, but it’s never quite been fast or reliable enough to make it a reality. These latest updates certainly push it in the right direction.

This is a nice feature for people who need to enter a lot of text from forms to a computer program like Goigle Docs.

It's quite nice to hear about any means of being able to copy and paste on your phone. It's a pain in the butt in my opinion to ever be able to copy and paste anything on my phone. Thanks for the share.

I know some chicken scratch hand writing that will challenge this app.

Though I don't think it makes a huge difference to me xD

I feel handwritten copy and paste by photo would be useful for copying and pasting old hand written books, notes, and short stories which were hand written before typewriters, printing presses, and computers were invented.

That is an amazing feature. It's a good thing my handwriting is not too bad so this shouldn't cause any problems.
