In a monumental leap for the world of technology, a pioneering quantum computing chip has shattered performance barriers, paving the way for an era of computing power previously thought to be science fiction. Developed by a collaboration of leading tech companies and research institutions, this quantum computing breakthrough is set to redefine the landscape of computing, enabling unprecedented speeds and capabilities that could revolutionize industries across the board. Key Highlights of the Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Unprecedented Processing Power: Traditional computers use bits to process information, represented as 0s and 1s. Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 states simultaneously. This inherent parallelism allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations at speeds that would be inconceivable for classical computers. Massive Quantum Supremacy: The newly developed quantum chip achie
A few days ago we heard Google rolling out a new feature in its Photos app wherein users could simply click an image with text in different languages and use Lens to convert it in the local language. The search giant now seems to be preparing to expand this feature even more. As found by 9to5Google in the Google app 10.61’s apk teardown, the firm may soon let users search for content by simply taking a screenshot of whatever is shown on it.
The feature is tipped as ‘Smart Screenshots’. It is said to combine two existing features ‘Edit & share screenshots’ of Google’s search app along with ‘What’s on my screen’ capability of the Google Assistant. Several references were found in strings of codes in the apk teardown.
“Edit your screenshots, explore them with Lens, share them with a link, and more!” stated the first string of code.
The new ‘Exploring with Lens’ feature can be seen below, once you take a screenshot. This will be in addition to regular editing tools including Annotation, Cropping and Sharing.
It is not for sure exactly when this feature will be rolled out. But since it is under tests, we may not have to wait for long. It is also not for sure if this feature will be limited to screenshots taken within Search or will it be a system-wide feature.
On a related note, Google has rolled out a new feature for its Photos that uses a technique called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) wherein Google Lens can extract the characters from an image and can search for it on the web. The feature is there on Android phones but has not been rolled out to iOS devices as per 9to5Google.
With the apk teardown and the feature rollout in Google Photos it is clear that Google wants Lens feature to take a bigger role in users’ everyday lives. And it makes sense as you won’t always type or speak your queries to Assistant.
