If it's not already on Secretive Boarding Houseyour Android device, Google Lens is now available as a standalone app from the Play Store.
Lens is useful if you see something but don't know exactly what it is, or want more information. Launched at Google I/O last year, the intelligent camera allows you to identify an artwork, landmarks, or even dogs (albeit not so well).
SEE ALSO: Someone attached a massive Canon lens to a Game Boy Camera, and it actually workedThe feature also allows you to scan barcodes and also text, allowing you to translate words, call a number, add an event to the calendar, and even simple copy and paste.

The standalone app will serve as a quick launch to those features, but according to the Play Store it will only run on devices with Marshmallow and up.

Lens has already come to Pixel and the Pixel 2, and most recently the Sony Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 Compact, as well as some OnePlus devices.
For the rest of us with other phones, seeing if Lens will work for you is a bit of experiment -- for the time being, anyway.
