Google Lookout app is now available in Canada

Google's app to help blind or low-vision individuals navigate the world is now available in Canada with many new features. Google Lookout draws upon the same technology used by Google Lens, allowing you to search and take action on objects around you by pointing your phone camera. 

Lookout now has two new modes: Food Label and Scan Document. Food Label helps you identify packaged food. All you have to do is point your phone's camera at the label. The app will guide you to position the product so it can identify it either through the packaging or barcode. It can be useful for putting away groceries, and you want to make sure you're handling the right products and putting them in their proper places.
