In the video tutorial Solving calculations visually with Google Lens, I present one of the functions that Google Lens makes available to us, namely solving mathematical calculations visually.

What does it mean to solve mathematical calculations visually?

Let's say we have a mathematical exercise written on paper, for example 1 + 1, and we want to find out the result. Normally we have to write manually on a computer and press equal to get the result.

In solving the exercise visually, we only have to point the phone's camera towards the calculation and that's it, the result is displayed on the screen. Without any further intervention from us.

What is the advantage of solving calculations visually?

Obviously the saving of time is the main advantage. And since human time is limited, any shortcut is welcome.

How does Google Lens manage to do these mathematical calculations?

We can call it AI, but in fact there are several techniques. The first and most important stage is character recognition and the recognition that we are dealing with a mathematical calculation. The rest is routine. because a computer knows how to do some calculations, that's all it does when it knows.

How do you use the "Homework" mode in Google Lens?

Super simple: You open Google Lens, launch the camera from the top, choose homework mode and take a picture of the math exercise you're too lazy to solve manually.

You will see that you are working with an adjustable border. if you see that the exercise is not recognized well, try to adjust the border so that it includes the exercise, but not too wide.
