Sometimes we need to copy important text from a photo, poster, book, or document. In such situations, people often end up retyping the entire text. However, with a few handy features on Android phones, you can recognize and copy text from a photo in just a few seconds.

The easiest way to do this is to use Google Lens. Google Lens is already available on many Android smartphones and can be used to identify and copy text in photos.

How to copy text from a photo:
First, open the Google Photos app on your Android phone and select the photo containing the text. Once the photo opens, tap the Lens icon.

Google Lens will now scan the photo and try to recognize the text in it. When the text or text-related option appears on the screen, tap it.

You can then select the entire text in the photo or choose a specific portion based on your needs. After selecting the text, tap the Copy option.

Now you can paste the copied text in WhatsApp, Notes, Gmail or any other app.

You can also extract text from screenshots.
If you see important information on a website, WhatsApp, or social media post, you can extract the text by taking a screenshot. Open the screenshot in Google Photos and select and copy the text using Google Lens.

This feature will
be useful for students, office workers, and anyone who frequently needs to extract text from photos or scanned documents. This can also save time spent retyping long text.
