Google could soon make it easier to ask Gemini to take a look at things
Guided Vision could be getting its own accessibility shortcut.
Google is reportedly developing a new accessibility shortcut for its Gemini Live feature that could make it easier for users with visual impairments to access the camera mode. This shortcut, currently in development, could take users directly to the Camera mode, potentially eliminating the need for multiple steps to access Guided Vision.
Guided Vision allows Gemini to use the device's camera to read text, translate labels, identify objects, and provide descriptions of surroundings. While the shortcut itself isn't functional yet, it could significantly improve accessibility for those who require quick access to this feature. Google already offers Guided Vision, allowing Gemini to leverage the smartphone's camera for various tasks, but reaching this mode can be cumbersome.
The tech giant may recognize the need for a more streamlined approach, as users often have to navigate through the Gemini app to access this functionality.
