Google Lens

Google today announced several new features for Google Lens to make you more productive. Google Lens already allows you to copy and paste text from physical paper to your phone. With this new update, you can select text with Lens, and tap “copy to computer” to quickly paste it on another signed-in device with Chrome. With this, you can easily copy text from paper to your laptop.
