Google Lens is now available as a standalone app — allowing anybody the chance to use the all-seeing recognition software for the first time.
Lens uses the smartphone camera to scan and identify real-world objects.
It can recognise species of flower, translate menus in a foreign language, and add phone numbers from physical business cards into the contacts app on a phone.
Until now, the feature was only available on smartphones that had been updated to include support for Lens within the native camera app.
