Google is flexing its optical character recognition muscle with the ability to search for text in Google Photos.

谷歌要將光學(xué)字符識別技術(shù)（OCR）用于搜索Google Photos中的文本。

The company confirmed the feature on Twitter after users discovered it on their own, but it's still rolling out to everyone.

該公司在用戶發(fā)現(xiàn)之后在推特上證實了這一功能，但仍處于推廣階段。

With the Google Photos mobile app, you can go a step further and copy text from images. Just hit the lens button (the square shape with the circle inside) while viewing any photo, then tap on any section of text to highlight it for copying or searching.

你用Google Photos移動應(yīng)用程序就可以進(jìn)一步從圖片中復(fù)制文本，瀏覽照片時只需點擊lens按鈕（里面有個圈的方形按鈕）， 然后輕按文本任意區(qū)域選中進(jìn)行復(fù)制或搜索。

If you're in the habit of taking screenshots on your phone, you can search for “Screenshots” and find plenty of photos on which to try this out.

如果你有在手機(jī)上截屏的習(xí)慣，你就可以搜索“截屏”找到很多照片，然后在這些照片上進(jìn)行操作。

Google Photos recently sailed past the billion-user mark, so it's got plenty of data on which to train its computer vision models for features like text recognition.

Google Photos最近用戶超過10億，獲取了大量數(shù)據(jù)，并利用這些數(shù)據(jù)訓(xùn)練計算機(jī)視覺模型來實現(xiàn)文字識別等功能。

That said, diehard Evernote users may point out that the note-taking app was offering a similar feature years ago.

也就是說，印象筆記老用戶可能會說該筆記記錄應(yīng)用幾年前就推出了類似功能。
