You've ruined it!! Google lens with its superior ocr was my go to for grabbing text for my text to speech app, but copying text to the clipboard is now either impossible or hidden so well that I can't find it. This is such a pity. The ocr of Google is super and worked really well with my tts software. Now I'm stuck again and forced to fall back on solutions that are much worse.

This has helped me so many times trying to figure out what things were, but the real winner here is the translate option! I've never used it before until now! I recently bought something where the instructions were in another language. Pulled up Google Lens and was able to translate it. I actually started my screen recorder, and I clicked the "listen" open to have it read. Now when I go to put this together, I'll just play the screen recording and pause it whenever I need to!

When it 1st launched it was great! Now even when specific it often ignores the query search and shows irrelavent results! Say I am looking for a rose pintuck blouse~Lens shows me other items and colors totally unrelated to the photo or wording! Waste of time and very irritating as I feel it is all about advertising and not what the person requests in words and screenshot image!!!! Renders it almost useless especially since it was great in the beginning!!!!!!!!!!
