Image Recognition
Swahili speakers can now search for objects, translate languages and even shop using the image recognition technology application Google Lens. To solve this, the app allows users to have writings in foreign languages translated to to a language one understands, say Swahili! So if you are in Nairobi, Google Lens will know that it is more likely you are looking at the KICC rather than a similar-looking structure somewhere else in the world,” Ooko added. “Using a smartphone camera or uploading a digital image onto the Google Lens platform will see information about plants and animals generated on the spot,” said Google. Swahili is now the 20th language available on Google Lens since its roll out almost five years ago.
