Google Goggles Updated – Barcodes, Ads, and Sudokus

2011-01-10 by Jason

The Google Mobile Blog tells us today that Google Goggles has been updated. The Android and iPhone app that allows you to search the web by taking pictures has been updated today to be faster and smarter. For example, you could snap a picture of something like a can of Pepsi with Google Goggles and it would come up with search results for Pepsi.

The new features with the latest update of Goggles, version 1.3, allows faster scanning of barcodes for a product search. It has also been improved to have better recognition for print ads in magazines and newspapers.

The most exciting new feature of Google Goggles 1.3 is its ability to solve Sudoku puzzles. With a clear shot of the puzzle, should you get stuck, Goggles will return the solved puzzle. Check out this video for a demo:

Go get the Google Goggles update from the Android Market, it’s there now. The updated Google Mobile App for iPhone is also available.
