Google Lens is making its way into the hands of more people, it's already getting one of its first feature enhancements. The latest version of Photos enables a new Text Selection mode for images containing easily identifiable text.
All you have to do is hit the Lens icon and wait for it to finish examining the photo. Hit the button for Text Selection and you'll see areas in the image highlighted and all of the text will appear in the lower window. You can go even further by tapping individual highlighted areas to get just that text, and even tap each row of lines to get down to just that selection. From here, text can be copied, shared, Translate or passed into a Google search.
This is an expansion of the existing capability to identify phone numbers, email addresses, and some similar fields.
