Google Lens Unleashes Cross-Device Clipboard Power

Google Lens has evolved beyond its original capabilities as an object-identifying tool. The feature now includes real-time translation, live AI conversations, and a new ability to 'grab' text from the physical world and beam it straight to your computer.

To use this feature, simply point Google Lens at any text, select it, and tap the three dots. This will pull up a list of active computers that are signed into Chrome on the same account.

The PCs don't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work, making it incredibly useful for tasks such as translating menus or reading street signs while traveling.
