Have you ever wished you could simply talk to your phone to search about an image you're looking at? 

What if you could unlock a wealth of information about the world around you with just your voice and a simple gesture? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use the new secret Google Lens trick.

Google Lens has a hidden feature that lets you search by voice about any image with a long press. 

Here's how to do it.

1. Locate the Google Lens icon on your device. It might be in your Google Lens (Android) or in the Google app (iPhone).
2. Aim your camera at the image you want to search about. Make sure the image is in focus and well-lit.
3. Instead of a quick tap, press and hold the Google Lens button for a second or two.
4. Google Assistant will activate. Now, simply speak your question about the image. For example, "How many cars in this image?" or "Where can I buy this jacket?".
5. Google Lens will process your voice query and present you with relevant search results, information, and even shopping links related to the image.

Here's an example.

• Click the Google Lens icon.

The long-press voice search in Google Lens offers several compelling advantages. 

For individuals with visual impairments or those who simply prefer using voice commands, this feature significantly enhances accessibility. 

It also streamlines the search process in situations where typing might be cumbersome or impractical, such as when you're on the go or have your hands full. 

However, like any technology, it's not without its potential drawbacks. 

Voice recognition, while constantly improving, is not always flawless and could lead to inaccurate search results if your words are misheard or misinterpreted. 

Additionally, the feature's effectiveness can be compromised in noisy environments, where background sounds might interfere with voice recognition. 

The ability to search by voice with a long press on the Google Lens button is a powerful and convenient tool that can enhance your search experience.
