I love it when Google brings out cool new experimental products, and this is no exception!
Google Goggles lets you search Google without the need to type or speak. You literally just take a picture of whatever it is you want to search and in most cases it will find it for you! The other great feature is that you can take photos of text in a foreign language, and it will translate it for you, which is great for when you are on holiday and trying to select something from a menu in a restaurant!
Here is the official Google video about the product:
I’m so excited to see how image recognition technology is developing, as I have also been very impressed with its use in products such as Evernote.
It’s going to be very interesting to see how Google develop Goggles. I imagine that this could end up being a very powerful tool.
What are your thoughts?
