Google Lens just added handwriting transcription for free.
Google Lens is a really powerful tool. You can use your phone's camera to identify and get information about objects, read reviews of restaurants and other business, explore nearby places or identify plants or animals, so basically a sort of real-time reverse image-lookup, or, if you prefer, an augmented reality (AR) Google.
* Google Lens is available for both Android and iOS users.
So, what´s new?. With Google Lens, you can now copy and paste handwritten notes between devices. Is not that great?

Just point your phone’s camera towards your handwritten notes (neatly written), take a photo and adjust to select the text you need. Then select ‘copy to computer’ and your document will be ready in Google Docs (your phone and computer will obviously must be signed into the same Google account).
Also, Google Lens include the ability to listen to words and phrases spoken in a different language, which is especially helpful for language learners.
