Pixel Screenshots are searchable
If you ’re like me , you screenshot things liberally — tickets , QR codes , boarding passes and what have you — for easy access afterward . But screenshots are n’t exactly lookup - friendly . And that makes them a real pain in the neck in the rearward remnant when you ’re seek to find something specific .
Fortunately for before long - to - be Pixel 9 owners , there ’s Pixel Screenshots , a newfangled app that expend AI to analyze the content of screenshots , including any entrance text , people and target . Google Photos already did this — but Pixel Screenshots works topically .
Google gives this colorful exercise : “ Let ’s say your friend , who loves squirrel , has a birthday coming up . You may browse Google Chrome for a gift for them , screenshotting squirrel shirts , squirrel coaster and everything else squirrel - related you think they might like . Pixel Screenshots will analyze the content of all those images and make the information searchable for you in the app . So all you ’ll involve to do is open up the app and hunting for ‘ squirrel , ’ and these results will pop up . Even easily , it will admit link to where you found everything and a summary of what you ’re bet at with relevant data . ”
Pixel Screenshots will also helpfully explore for things like threshold codes and addresses across photo .
