Google has learned to decipher the handwriting of doctors.

December 21, 2022

The company, together with pharmacists, developed a system for deciphering doctors' handwriting. The technology is currently being tested and is not yet ready for the general public. The new Google Lens feature will allow users to take a photo of a doctor's prescription or download it from the photo library. After processing the image, the application will detect and highlight the drugs mentioned in the document.
