Update today claims Google Lens is now available in Google Photos in U.K. But 
when I selected a photo, voiceover could not read any of the buttons.

Hello Rich,

Well, as far as I can tell, some people have access to Lens in their apps and 
some do not.  A friend of mine in New York has it but no one that I know of, in 
California, so far, has access.

Google Lens is now available on iOS
By Thuy Ong

Google is officially rolling out its Lens feature to Apple iOS devices over
the next few weeks. Lens is an on-demand object recognition tool, accessible
through the Google Photos app. When users take a photo of a book or
painting, for example, Lens recognizes it and spits out information telling
you more details about the object.

Lens works on photos of business cards, books, landmarks and buildings,
paintings in a museum, plants or animals, and flyers and event billboards.
When you use Lens on a photo that has phone numbers or an address, you can
automatically save this information as a contact on your phone, while events
will be added to your calendar.

Starting today and rolling out over the next week, those of you on iOS can
try the preview of Google Lens to quickly take action from a photo or
discover more about the world around you. Make sure you have the latest
version (3.15) of the app.https://goo.gl/u9uz8z

To access the feature on your iOS device, launch the Google Photos app,
select a photo, then tap on the Google Lens icon. Depending on what the
photo is, you can then check the details Google provides, or take an action.
Google notes that if your web and app activity setting is switched on, your
Google Lens activity will be saved to your Google account. You can delete
any history from your My Activity page at any time. The feature is rolling
out to version 3.15 of the iOS app, so make sure you update.

Lens debuted last October on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Google started
rolling out the feature to all Android phones with Google Photos installed
earlier this month.

When I read through the article, I had the impression that this is a feature of 
Google Photos, version 3.15.
I have that version of Google Photos and nothing in it says anything about

Lens works on photos of business cards, books, landmarks and buildings,
paintings in a museum, plants or animals, and flyers and event billboards.
When you use Lens on a photo that has phone numbers or an address, you can
automatically save this information as a contact on your phone, while events
will be added to your calendar.

Starting today and rolling out over the next week, those of you on iOS can
try the preview of Google Lens to quickly take action from a photo or
discover more about the world around you. Make sure you have the latest
version (3.15) of the app.https://goo.gl/u9uz8z

To access the feature on your iOS device, launch the Google Photos app,
select a photo, then tap on the Google Lens icon. Depending on what the
photo is, you can then check the details Google provides, or take an action.
Google notes that if your web and app activity setting is switched on, your
Google Lens activity will be saved to your Google account. You can delete
any history from your My Activity page at any time. The feature is rolling
out to version 3.15 of the iOS app, so make sure you update.

Lens debuted last October on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Google started
rolling out the feature to all Android phones with Google Photos installed
earlier this month.

Do you think that blind people will be able to utilize some of these 
features?  Sounds interesting.  Even the point about being able to scan in a 
business card and put it in your contacts.

Google Lens is now available on iOS
By Thuy Ong

Google is officially rolling out its Lens feature to Apple iOS devices over
the next few weeks. Lens is an on-demand object recognition tool, accessible
through the Google Photos app. When users take a photo of a book or
painting, for example, Lens recognizes it and spits out information telling
you more details about the object.

Lens works on photos of business cards, books, landmarks and buildings,
paintings in a museum, plants or animals, and flyers and event billboards.
When you use Lens on a photo that has phone numbers or an address, you can
automatically save this information as a contact on your phone, while events
will be added to your calendar.

Starting today and rolling out over the next week, those of you on iOS can
try the preview of Google Lens to quickly take action from a photo or
discover more about the world around you. Make sure you have the latest
version (3.15) of the app.https://goo.gl/u9uz8z

To access the feature on your iOS device, launch the Google Photos app,
select a photo, then tap on the Google Lens icon. Depending on what the
photo is, you can then check the details Google provides, or take an action.
Google notes that if your web and app activity setting is switched on, your
Google Lens activity will be saved to your Google account. You can delete
any history from your My Activity page at any time. The feature is rolling
out to version 3.15 of the iOS app, so make sure you update.
