Google Maps, Goggles, and Listen for Android get updated
Calendar16 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:49:50 UTC +00:00
Google has updated three of its Android applications today, which include Maps, Listen, and Goggles. Both Maps and Listen bring small but it Goggles seems to have received most of the attention. In a nutshell, here is what all three updates bring to the table: Google Maps: Google Listen: Google Goggles: As you can see, most of everything added within the updates are rather incremental but that’s not to say they aren’t helpful. The new Google Maps feature that will adjust to Night Mode once you enter a tunnel is a very thoughtful addition on Google’s part, and Listen’s audio focus bug fix will surely help many who use it. As for Google Goggles, the application is pretty solid on its own, so any update is a good thing. The same goes for Google Maps. If Google were to Ice Cream-ify the Listen app a bit, I’d probably use it a Read More
Google Launches QR Code-Based Login Security Measure
Calendar16 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:32:00 UTC +00:00
Google has released a new way to securely log into Google accounts on public computers. Using a smartphone, scan the QR code generated at accounts.google.com/sesame. The Google login prompt will appear on your phone, and logging in there will log you into a session on the desktop. This prevents the user from having to type sensitive login credentials into a public machine, which could be compromised with keylogging software. The new QR code feature is an alternative to Google's 2-step verification. This generates a unique short code on your mobile, which you must input for each desktop login, using the presence of your phone as a form of identification. Adoption of QR codes is a slow-growing oddity. The last study we saw indicated that 5% of U.S. adults have scanned the 2D bar codes with their smartphones. QR codes allow us to put hyperlinks anywhere in the real world. We've seen Read More
Worth Reading? Google Goggles, the self-referential app for scanning just about anything, sees its latest major release today. The official Google Mobile blog has all the saucy details on version 1.7. The big new feature is continuous scanning, i.e., getting your barcode or QR code results instantly without taking a photo first. It’s essentially extracting the relevant information straight out of a video feed from your smartphone’s camera sensor – neat. Also included is a richer text recognition feature. You can now instantly search a big clump of text, say a magazine article snippit, and find an online version to easily share a link. I imagine it could be very useful for students, saving just relevant parts of a textbook like a formula or short biography and leaving the heavy dead tree format in the drawer. Nothing groundbreaking, but incremental updates are always welcome. User-supplied results will also be getting more Read More

The one you never put through its paces quite as well as you would have liked to? Here is our rendition of the 8 best Droid X apps to get you started on the smartphone. Thought Google was cool when they introduced Goggles back in 2009? It’s search by images, for the uninitiated and could probably not have been named more aptly.

Android's 20 most useful smartphone apps of 2011 | ZDNet

Summary: To help you sort through the deluge of apps, here’s a list of 20 tried-and-true Android smartphone apps that are worth your time to download. Another one of the great things about Android (if you’re a geek or a tinkerer) is that you have lower-level access to the system itself. Astro is an app that lets you navigate the Android file system, which is mostly just interesting, but can be handy once in a while. I’m obsessed with running speed tests to check my bandwidth in various places, both to see 3G/4G fluctuations and to check the quality of Wi-Fi. There are a number of really good speed test apps, but my favorite is the Speedtest.net app. It’s generally consistent and it has some of the best graphics and options. I’ve never completely warmed up to the Amazon Kindle e-reader, but I’m a big fan of the Kindle mobile app. Read More
Google as an app developer has released various applications in the Android Market and some of these come pre-installed on most Android devices – like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Search. But others have to be downloaded from Android Market; we have compiled a list of these apps that have been developed by Google. The number comes around 40 apps, although we have tried our best, but we might have missed a few. But not all applications are available in every country and every device; some are regional apps as they support only certain languages or certain apps might support only few device types. So, the best way to check if one of these apps is available in your country is to go to the phone/tablet based Market app and try searching for that particular app – if it comes in the search results than you are good to go.

The morning news shows tell me that it’s going to be a beautiful weekend. I’m planning to take smart photos (Google Goggles), stay on top of my bills (Manilla), jostle my noggin (BrainJiggle) and wander around in the dark (DarkMaze). Like the Augmented Reality that the Google Goggles app provides? Then, you’ll want to get the latest update. It provides intelligent photo recognition. Run the Goggles app in the background as you snap pix with your phone’s camera and Goggles will do its best to recognize whatever’s in the photo – including art, famous landmarks, products, and other stuff – and then tag the photo with augmented information like the title, location, and other attributes of the photo’s subject. The version also now “responds to barcode intents” and if you know what that means, please let me know. Paying bills late gives you a poor credit score. You could try to Read More
Google's neat-o Goggles app has just been updated to 1.6, and brings intelligent photo recognition to the table. What exactly does that mean? Well, I can't put it much better than the official announcement: Let’s say that I’m going on vacation, and I decide to use my Android-powered phone as my primary camera. Goggles would identify landmarks, paintings and other interesting objects in my photos. I can share these facts about my vacation with my friends right from my Goggles search history.   In other words, Goggles is running in the background. You snap a picture, and Goggles recognizes it. The app will notify you that it recognizes the content of the picture, and attach that info to the picture in the Goggles app. Based on the description, it's not clear what all you can do with this information once it's tagged, but it's still a nifty use of image recognition.

Top 5 Augmented Reality Apps for Android

The highly experimental and anticipated technology which we used to see only in Sci-fi movies is now a reality. Yes, we are talking about Augmented Reality ( AR )  which is something new and  a WOW factor to the end-user. Wiki says, Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery. For Augmented Reality to work and provide  rich visual experience the combination of GPS, Compass, Camera and a 3G/WiFi connection is required. And with the existence of powerful mobile platform like Android things are much easier for developers to roll out more apps. Here is our list of apps that make use of AR technology which we believe has a promising future.

The Best Image-to-Text App for Android

Android doesn't have a ton of apps that can turn images into text documents, but of the ones available, Google Goggles is free and does everything it promises to do: copy text from an image and let you paste it anywhere. What's text recognition? It's technically known as optical character recognition (OCR) and can be really useful when you've got a paper document you want in digital, editable form. You need a scanner to create an image of the document first, but then once you have that image you can run it through an OCR application that will read each character and attempt to recreate the original document as text. In most cases it will never be perfect, but with a high-quality scan you can come pretty close. This is even possible on your phone, and that's why we're looking at text recognition apps.

The program would be similar to Google’s Goggles, which allows for snapshots of objects for easy identification.

Google launched a new version of its Google Goggles application for iOS and Android smartphones today. The latest iteration, version 1.3, can now recognize print ads in magazines and solve fairly difficult sudoku puzzles in a few seconds, and is also faster at processing barcodes and QR codes seen with a phone's camera. Goggles' barcode recognition now works in under a second, according to the relevant post in the Google Blog: just point your phone's camera at the barcode or QR code, and the app will pull up product information without requiring a button press. From there, users can move on to searching for the product on the Web, or in a more specific Google tool if applicable—for example, a barcode on a book would pull up an option to search Google Books.

Google has just updated their Goggles application for Android with some speed enhancements as well as some cool new features, like newspaper, magazine ad recognition, and even Sudoku puzzle solving. Version 1.3 of Goggles for Android allows for faster barcode scanning of products. Similar to the basic Barcode scanner for Android, all one needs to do is hover their camera over a barcode, and once it’s recognized, the phone will vibrate and show product information, including where to get it online or if it’s cheaper five blocks away at another store. You also have easy access to product reviews and user ratings. In some ways the update seems to be overlapping on Google’s existing Shopper application, but having the same functionality within one app isn’t something we’ll be complaining about anytime soon.

The app then analyzes the photo and delivers Google Search results based on that image. It works quite well in most cases, but it should be noted that it's still a work in progress. Startup Auditor could be one of the most useful applications for those folks who want the most control over their operating system. The app, which costs just $0.99, allows users to enable and disable other applications. It also determines which programs will start when the phone is booted. And considering Android is subject to some security problems, Startup Auditor might be nice Read More
Bing Updates Web Search and iPhone App

I live in constant jealousy of my friends with Android phones over my favorite Android app — Google Goggles. In particular, the ability to scan barcodes and images for visual recognition is pretty impressive! Now, one of my favorite iPhone apps — Bing — has gotten a big update, and now features my most-lusted-after Google Goggles feature: barcode and image recognition of products. Also in the latest version are improved search functions including search results from your Twitter and Facebook networks, and business list and map view integration with search results. And that's not all the Bing news for today — the web search at Bing.com just got new entertainment features, including the ability to search for Zune songs, artists, or lyrics, and listen to full song tracks for free. If you'd like to purchase a song, Bing offers one-click access to purchase from Zune.net, even if you aren't a Zune Read More

Google Goggles Gets Translation
Calendar16 Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
Google has released a new version of Google Goggles with an exciting new feature: translation. According to the company's blog, the new feature will be able to read five different, Latin-based languages and translate to many more, all using a smartphone's camera. The new version of Google Goggles will help translate text from English, French, Italian, German and Spanish into many more languages, and will be able to read many more, including non-Latin-based langauges such as Chinese, Hindi and Arabic, in the future. Using Google Goggles for this feature is a simple process, as described on Google's blog: Google has announced several advancements involving translation over recent months, including automated captioning for YouTube videos, auto-translation for websites in Chrome and even software it is developing to provide real-time voice translation over mobile phones. Each of these technologies involves technologies which will help in creating a cohesive augmented reality experience in the Read More
Strap on your seatbelts, Android fans: Google has a new tool in its Google Goggles Android app, and it's time to take it for a test drive. Google announced the debut of its Google Goggles image-based text translation feature this morning. The feature, integrated into the new 1.1 version of the Goggles app, allows you to point your phone's camera at any block of text and have it instantly translated into your native tongue. That's what it does in theory, at least. I gave it a whirl to see how well it actually worked. Using the Google Goggles translation tool is simple enough: After downloading the latest version of the Goggles app (click here for a direct barcode link), you simply open the app and aim your phone at text. It could be on a street sign, a menu, or practically anything else you could imagine. Once you have your target Read More
Google Goggles Now Translates Text in Photos
Calendar16 Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
by In February we learned that a future version of Google Googles would translate text in photos. The future is here — Google Goggles v.1.1 for Android 1.6 and higher can now read and translate English, French, Italian, German and Spanish language text. The Google Goggles translation feature is pretty simple to use. Simply point-and-shot a word or phrase by drawing a box around desired text and snapping a photo. Should Google recognize the text, you can then select the translate button and define the source and destination languages for translation. Google has also updated the app with better barcode recognition and enhanced photo recognition for products and logos for a better visual search experience. Ultimately, Google’s goal with Goggles is to solve “the technical challenges required to make computers see.” Read More
Google Goggles Now Translates Text in Pictures
Calendar16 Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00
If you had any doubt that we are living in the future, Google today introduced visual translation tools for use with a camera phone. Specifically, the new version of its Google Goggles app, available for Android phones running version 1.6 of the OS or higher, can recognize pictures of words written in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish and rapidly translate them into other languages. Goggles translation, which was demoed at Mobile World Congress this year, will be ideal for travelers. All users have to do is hold their phone up to a menu, newspaper or sign they can’t understand, identify the words they want translated, take a picture to send to Google, and select a destination language. Google said it hopes to eventually extend the tool to non-Latin languages as well. Google just bought the visual search startup Plink, which helped users recognize works of art, and added the company’s Read More
I must have studied French for, oh, five years or so, but I have to admit: Drop me into a Parisian cafe with a non-English menu and I'm hopeless. Luckily, help for monolingual misfits like me is here in the form of the just-updated Google Goggles for Android, although the app — which translates text captured by your phone's built-in camera — is still rough around the edges. Google Goggles, if you recall, is the still-in-beta Android app that identifies and cranks out search results for landmarks, product logos, book covers and other items that you've snapped with your phone's digital camera. Take a picture of, say, that big tall pointy-looking thing in Paris, and Goggles will tell you that you're standing in front of the Eiffel Tower. Now Google Goggles adds a new feature in its just-released version 1.1: the ability to translate text in a variety of languages simply Read More

Google Goggles, despite being a new and unpolished product with a limited application, is an awesome concept that will almost undoubtedly grow some legs in the near future. At MWC 2010 a Google Engineer shows one way that – RIGHT NOW – Google Goggles can make an impact with language/character recognition combined with translation of over 100 languages. Take a look at this video where they snap a picture of a German Restaurant menu and it converts/translates the text to English: “I would assume that many of you… would not be able to… know what to eat tonight. But if you have the new Goggles translation – what you can do you can zoom in… take a picture… place it there… so the:” It works and everyone applauds. What happens when Google Goggles starts letting you take a picture of someone’s face and it instantly knows who they are and tells Read More
Google has made two announcements today that will add on to it’s already extensive presence in mobile search. Android users can now “Search by Sight” with Google Goggles, a visual search option for Android. Simply snap a photo of a book, landmark, business card, barcode, or artwork, and the app will return Google search results for that item. Google Goggles even includes an augmented reality element for local businesses. When the app is launched facing a business front, GPS and compass technology helps reveal a store name. Tap the name to see more. UPDATE: THIS APP WORKS ONLY ON ANDROID 1.6 OR HIGHER, SO HERO AND OTHER CUPCAKE PHONES CANNOT USE IT. Google Goggles is an app that performs Google queries based on images rather than entered text. It will not always perform well on cars, animals, plants, or appeal, but it’s a strong entrance. I’m surprised that this is available Read More

Androinica.com encourages users to tweet great apps with the #androidapps tag on Twitter, and we plan to incorporate that into our weekly notifications of new, updated, or recommended apps. Get to downloading and keep telling us about those exciting #androidapps. In the ninth edition of Android Apps Alert, we’re missing video but getting some cool additions. A frustrating error prevented me from editing a video in time this week, but I can still share a few apps tell us what we’re seeing, convert what we saw, and entertain us enough to look at or listen to them.

Google Goggles seemed amazing to me when it was first announced. The thought that I could perform visual searches on things I didn’t recognize was intriguing and something I thought would – cliche alert – revolutionize the way people discover information. Goggles might still do that someday, but not yet. Despite the impressive features that Goggles promise, they do not live up to the hype at the moment. The official video touting Goggles suggests that scanning a business card will allow the app to scan the text and add that person to a phone’s contacts directory. Nice in theory, but real world tests of the application are not as smooth or successful. Below is a video of my attempts to get Goggles working in object recognition, text recognition for adding business card info to contacts, and using the augmented reality mode. Results are mixed in this video and on several other Read More
The Google Goggles Android app and Google Translate are two slightly flawed but promising products. From a conceptual standpoint, these apps are great and will be must-have tools in the future; however, their present-day practicality is limited thanks to inconsistent scanning technology and sometimes comically bad translation services. Despite those current limitations, I look forward to the day when I can translate scanned text on my Android phone. Google previewed such a feature during their Mobile World Congress keynote. In a video posted to YouTube, a Google engineer is seen using a version of Google Goggles to scan a menu written in German. Goggles then provides a quick translation into English to help diners decide what to order. The OCR translation won’t be pinpoint accurate, as any student who has ever tried to use Google Translate to cheat on a Spanish essay assignment will tell you.

The app does NOT recognize animals, furniture or apparel. The app can keep a history of visual searches or not, plus offer somewhat similar suggestions to results not found. I really Read More

Goggles does an amazing job of recognizing text, barcodes, etc. Since I couldn't find where to submit a bug report, I'll describe here the one thing I've found wrong with this app. When it finds and automatically scans a vcard QR code, Goggles ignores the phone number. For my own vcard QR code, it picks up on my name and email address correctly, but doesn't even detect my phone number. However, if I can press the photo button before it finds the code automatically, it recognizes the phone number correctly.

WTH?! As soon as I updated the app this morning, it immediately and without warning went straight to processing every single file in the picture gallery, indicating in the notifications area every time it found a "match". I was able to eventually get it to stop by turning off History (under Settings), but by then it had sent to Google dozens of my personal, private pictures. Considering Google keeps those pics around for a long time and can show them as results, I'm very upset about this.

There is absolutely no reason that Goggles should require me to enable Search History before it will let me share a link.

Without being able to easily share results, however, it loses its usefulness.

Works flawlessly on my Infuse 4g, but is problematic on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Specifically, Snapshot mode is massively washed out (over-exposed)... have to touch Back button and then Snapshot again, and THEN it's okay. Strangely, Continuous mode is perfect. One it's working though, it works great (and has always been perfect on the Infuse). I use it for QR codes, billboards, photographs, foreign language signs, etc. Keep up the good work and just fix this last remaining issue.

If you are looking for it, GoogleGoggle it and it will quickly return with info of what it is or where to find it. To test it, we took a snapshot of a SoBe bottle and it returned w/ the following - Logo: w/ info and site to SoBe; Text: SoBe WaterWater search and Image: for the letters So and B graphics. So pretty useful. The only real issue we had was taking a snapshot of a photo or image on a TV or PC - the return response was usually Similar Images (No Objects Recognized) It also has the capability to crop a snapshot, if you take a large photo but are attempting to locate something specific. Next is faces - just to see what it will find. Fun, Fun, Fun

I installed Goggles on my device and it ran perfectly on Froyo. However since updating to Gingerbread, whenever I use the snapshot feature the image is mirror-flipped. The pictures turn out normal, it's only the viewfinder that has this problem. It isn't the device, as the built-in camera and other apps work fine. Get it fixed and this would be a must-have.

It's pretty handy for scanning books and barcodes. What I really want is effective OCR but the OCR functionality only seems to kick in when scanning a business card. Scanning any other block of text results in a Google image search or a link to some website that shares some of the same words. The link suggests that it's actually performing OCR but why the heck doesn't it give me the OCR results as text that I can copy and use?! It's a frustrating that consequently doesn't get used much by me.

My boyfriend is super excited about this and has been trying to show me how well it works now only to have it constantly tell him that it is indeed unable to process anything he takes a picture of. Apparently images are extremely mystifying to this app. I know they try to say this is for practical applications but... it's really just something stupid to pass the time and it can't even get that much right.

I think previous comments have already painted a complete picture of using this app. It's not a finished product, and it's a fun time killer. Google should really be concentrating on improving their major apps like gmail and maps. Obviously, the image database for this app is lacking, but instead of complaining, you people should be helping by contributing your images and adding to the database!

Google felt free to insert text in a text message I was composing to my wife. Their message, which was seemlessly inserted into my message as if I had written it, was an advertisement for this program written as if I was suggesting it.

I have had the app on my Samsung Galaxy S II - GB and it's working fine and fast but only for once then it crashes the camera app and I need to restart my phone. I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it a few times and the same behavior occurs =============== Update: After the new update to version 1.8.1. The application has became quite better. it's not faulty at all now and under some hard testing it proved well except for some technicalities with getting good focus with the camera..it needs some time (5-10 seconds) to adjust to changes in light..Yet a major improvement

The integration of the QR code reader into the app is amazing, would have been more amazing if it was all integrated into the Google Search app. Makes sense to have 1 ultimate search app rather than many small pieces of apps. Five stars after that integration .

Goggles works remarkably well for a lot of images, but only if properly cropped to just the region of interest. However, in a rather bizarre piece of omitted functionality, there is no way to crop an image after you take a snapshot (only before). For example, even if Goggles were perfectly capable of recognizing a bar-code within an image, there is no way to tell it to JUST look at the bar-code in an otherwise cluttered scene. Unfortunately, unless you can get the image cropped perfectly when you take a picture, there's virtually no way specifying what part of the image to analyze.

The app seems to think they are Japanese characters, or suggests another similar photo instead of translating.

The app works very well for even easy translating on Google translate from analyzing foreign words. This app also works as an easy bar-code scanner for comparing prices in less than a minute while shopping. The best part it's free. Just don't expect it to recognize animals, as that's very difficult with today's technology.

Theres like 3 permissions in this that really dont belong. Too much malware risk and information requests for me.If ur gonna use it i suggest using permissions denied to disable the creepy stuff like permission to monitor calls and write new contacts..i like the app, not the spy potential it could bring. Not worth the risk, go for another qr scan app. Unknown source apps ask for less permissions lol. If youd had this for a while run a scan on ur system with your trusted protection app cause you never know

I can't believe all of the complaining, anger, frustration over a FREE app which has some very cutting edge technology incorporated into it. Any new technology isn't going to be perfect, often times, it's far from it. Feel free to develop your own app if you're not happy with this one. This app does do a few things like qr codes, translating, really well and I'd like to see those complaining about this free app develop an app to do the same.

...which is rather surreal...! The camera functions all worked fine when my WayteQ xTAB-70 was running Android 2.3.4. But after I upgraded my tablet to Android 4.0.3, they stopped working completely. And no, my camera isn't broken, it still works fine with *all* other apps, just not this official Google product. Ironically, it seems that upgrading Android can break your Goggles...

To all users who value their privacy....plz read this! Neat app but if you read the fine print you will learn that anything you scan will be made available to all others who scan similar items and can be used for advertising-along with ur first AND last name, & ur most recent locations & activities. Plz be careful if you do not want ur personal info available to stangers!!

The future of this app is exciting.3D camera phones of the future should someday be able to identify almost anything.A leaf on a tree should be able to get all the info back,a picture of a dog should identify breed,etc.Science and technology have a beautiful future.
Adelene 3.0 stars
This would be an amazing app if it had a better database backing it up, but as of right now, it doesn't do a very good job of recognizing anything but text or barcodes. It does a good job with those, and can recognize *some* other things, but it's too hit-or-miss to really depend on. Also, for text and barcodes, it depends on third-party web pages to provide information - understandable, really, but it's definitely a limitation when it comes to finding out about anything obscure or unusual.

I love how this app works from an image instead of making me hold my phone still for an hour to read a QR code. My only quibble is that it doesn't translate many languages. Maybe some more Asian languages (i.e. Japanese) would be nice. If I had that, this would be a 5 star app, no doubt.
