Google has introduced significant updates to its software tools, enhancing user interaction with text across various applications. The company's document scanner API is now accessible for use with any app, broadening its utility beyond Google's proprietary services. Additionally, Gboard, Google's keyboard app, is rolling out a 'Scan Text' Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool on Android devices, as reported by @technacity. This feature allows users to copy text from the real world directly into their digital documents. The tool leverages the user's camera to capture words from a photo and insert them into Messages and other applications, simplifying the process of digitizing printed text. Furthermore, Brave's Leo AI Tool has been updated to analyze Google Drive Files and PDFs, indicating a broader trend of integrating AI to enhance document management and text interaction within the digital ecosystem.
