Now here are the steps that will help you transfer handwritten texts to computer:

• First, open the Google Lens app and point the camera towards the handwritten notes.
• When the camera detects the text, highlight the text you want to copy on the phone screen.
• Now choose the ‘Copy to computer’ option and the text will be pasted on another signed-in device. Just go to any document in Google Docs and Paste the text.

Until now, Lens gave the option to copy and paste text to the smartphones. Now, the company is trying to give the same update to laptops and personal computers.

With this feature, users can easily convert handwritten text into well-informed pieces. Not just students but working professionals can also benefit a lot from this tool. They can now easily send the notes of the meetings written on paper without typing it all again.

Interestingly, Google has also added other features. It can also help in learning new phrases. Using the in-line Google Search result, you can easily select the phrases you don’t understand through Google Lens and learn their meaning.
