Google Lens is an image recognition mobile application developed by Google that is designed to perform visual analysis. Thus, it is able to identify objects, read texts and translate them or find similar products, among other functions.

Currently, the Google search bar only integrates the Lens button in the search engine widget for smartphones. Once pressed, a menu is displayed that offers several options: ‘Translate’, ‘Text’, ‘Search’, ‘Task’ and ‘Purchases’.

This shortcut to Google’s text and object scanning, image search service also includes a shortcut to screenshots and images saved in the mobile device’s gallery.

On the contrary, the Google search engine in its web version has shown all this time its usual text field to enter the desired word or phrase, as well as the icon of a microphone to search by voice instead of by text.

However, Google’s Vice President of Engineering and head of Lens, Rajan Patel, has announced via Twitter that the company has integrated Lens into the desktop finder bar.

The google homepage doesn’t change often, but today it did. We’re always working to expand the kinds of questions you can ask and improving how we answer them. Now you can ask visual questions easily from your desktop. pic.twitter.com/p9ldYvXnTK
