This will allow users to point their camera at a wall of text, and Lens will automatically start reading the text out loud. Google says the feature will support translations in 14 languages. This means that Google Go users will soon be able to use Lens to translate text in real-time in almost a dozen languages.Live translation is rolling out to Google Go users later this month. The same feature will also be rolling out to the full-fledged search app later.First Published:May 08, 2019, 14:59:56 IST
