Google photos can now search for text in photos

Google announced on Twitter today that it has added a new AI feature to its photo app, which allows you to search for photos and screenshots in Google Photo Gallery. You can then easily copy and paste the text into a note, document, or form.

Both of these new functions use optical character recognition (OCR) technology. According to foreign media 9to5Google, this feature can now be used on some Android devices, but not on iOS.

Now that Google can get text from any photo or screenshot in the photo gallery, Google hopes to use photos to make it easy to get Wi-Fi passwords, which requires searching for text fragments without having to take pictures first.

Google can search for text from historical photos, which means that Google automatically performs OCR for the entire album. I wonder if you will be worried about disclosure of privacy?
