Google Adds Lens Visual Translation Service to Google Assistant on KaiOS Feature Phones in India - Voicebot.ai

Google Assistant users in India using KaiOS feature phones will now have access to Google Lens, a year after the capability first expanded to India. Now, anyone who owns a feature phone or other device built on the KaiOS operating system will be able to use Google Assistant to identify any text in the image and read it out loud or translate it to another language. Google first debuted Lens three years ago in the U.S. and brought it to India in 2019. Lens combines machine vision to see any text in an image, then applies the voice AI to read the words out loud in the original language or any number of other tongues. It can even define the words in the food label, graffiti, or, as in the example image, a street sign.
