Seems like a extremely useful tool, just needs to not be Google, any alt recommendations welcome!

ITT - Apple users who don't know what Lens is and how useful it is 😂
Yeah. For apple users Lens is not the simple andtoid camera app (which yes can translate text on the fly and read QR codes) - Lens is a visual search tool that can answer queries based on pictures.
Like if you take a picture of a tree you can ask what species it is, or a picture of a person you can ask where the clothes are from etc.
Stupid hardware fixing I've never seen before - Lens will tell me what it is
Apple is about five years behind, then will announce it as a revelation they came up with, as usual 😂
And charge you for it
If you have the google app, on the landing page there is a camera icon. You can either use lens live that way, or upload a pic and it will tell you what plant/animal/etc it is, sometimes, or iirc it will translate texts. But it does both in real time too. I have an iPhone and use it a lot.
You can use Lens on iPhones just fine. It’s part of the google app.
