If you have a mobile phone, you might be interested in downloading the free Google Goggles app, especially (but not necessarily) if you do a lot of traveling.
This mobile app allows you to do searches with images. You take a photo of something and then search:
- in order to locate information about a book on the internet
- to identify a landmark
- to translate an item on a menu
- to identify products and artwork
You can also take a photo of a business card and move the information to the contact list on your phone.
How are you using Google Goggles?

That looks like a cool app. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You’re welcome, Jo.
I thought you could use Google Goggles to scan a street front and get web addresses for the stores. I may have hseen that in an earlier video of theirs, so I want to try that to see if it works or not.
Thanks for visiting!
