With Lookout, Google Helps Visually-Impaired With Their Groceries

Google has unveiled a new update to its Lookout app, which can assist blind or visually-impaired consumers with handling groceries.

The Food Label module, a new feature of Google Lookout, enables users to quickly identify packaged foods by pointing a phone camera at the label, enabling it to be properly identified.

The tech giant’s Lookout app is available for smartphones running Android 6.0 and later, and is available in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.
