Google Photos lets you search for text in images

A new Google Photos feature is going to make it easier for you to look for text in photos. It uses optical character recognition to search for the text. But Google takes it a bit further by letting you copy-paste text from pictures. Just click on the Lens button. You can even translate the words from the app itself, which makes it easier to decipher things like signs and food packages when travelling in other countries. And as Google points out, it makes it easier to copy-paste "impossible wifi passwords." It will work for ordinary pictures, too (like images of signs or pages of a book).
