How to use voice input in Google Lens

Gadinsider has compiled a step-by-step guide how you can use voice input in Google Lens. 

  1. Initially, launch the Google app on your device and click on the camera icon in the browser to launch Lens.
  2. Now, direct the camera to the thing you want to ask about.
  3. Then press the shutter button for a while and ask your question. 
  4. Especially, if you often use Search Lab and are already enrolled in the “AI Overviews and more” experiment, pressing the shutter button would eventually take a video clip to provide your app with an apparent context for your search.
  5. Check out the results, which are likely to include an AI Overview, including the relevant website links all over the web. 
  6. Moreover, if you want to ask another question about the photo you captured, then simply click on the microphone icon above the top of the results page. 

It is important to note that voice input for Google Lens has officially rolled out globally for English queries and users can easily locate it from the Google app for Android and iOS.
