The accession of schoolbook search to Google Photos on its own is a moderately sweet upgrade , but when combine with Google Lens , thing get even better . That ’s because after searching for text in Photos , you could press the Google Lens push to copy school text from inside a flick and then glue it into another app , which is something that would be super ready to hand when you ’re trying to accede in one of those extremely long wi - fi passwords you often find on the back of a router .
The manner the new Google Photos features works is that after your pics are uploaded to the swarm , Google uses OCR ( on - screen character identification ) to rake your photos and then tag them with the related text edition . Then , the next clip you ’re look for a picture of a receipt , you could only search for the name of the business the receipt come from or the name of the token alternatively of scroll through hundreds or thousands of photos .
