Opening Goggles and searching with pictures

You use Goggles to take a picture and search the web for information about it. You can

also use Goggles to learn about nearby businesses and other local features.

To open Goggles

S Touch the Goggles icon on the Home screen or in the Launcher.

See “Opening and switching applications” on page 46 to learn more about opening

and switching applications.

The first time you open Goggles, you’re asked to accept the Google mobile terms

of service. Then a series of screens introduces you to Goggle’s features, with

illustrations and a short video.

After the tutorial, you’re asked whether you want to enable Google Goggles search

history, along with a link that explains what the history stores.

To search with pictures

Goggles works better with some kinds of searches than others. Try taking pictures of

books and DVDs, landmarks, logos, contact info, artwork, businesses, products,

barcodes, or text. Currently, it’s not so good at recognizing animals, plants, cars,

furniture, or apparel.

1 Open Goggles.

2 Frame the object you want to search for in the viewer.

For best results, turn the phone sideways so the shutter button is to the right, and

fill the screen with as much of the search image as possible.

3 Touch the on-screen shutter button .

If Goggles is confident about identifying the subject of your picture, a screen

opens with search results. You can touch a result to read more, rate the

effectiveness of the search results, view or share your image, and so on.

If Goggles can’t recognize the image, a screen opens where you can try a text

search instead, or view a selection of images that Goggles thinks are similar to

yours.
