The popular Lens feature in Google Maps is getting a boost for users with visual impairments. It gets enhanced screen reader support, allowing you to point your phone's camera at nearby businesses and get information like their hours of operation, ratings, and even directions. All this info will be read aloud by your device's screen reader. This update makes navigating unfamiliar areas and finding essential services easier than ever for individuals who are blind or have low vision.
