Google Now on Tap Adds Translation, Article Detection and Barcode Search

Google Now on Tap in Android Marshmallow is one of those nifty features that is still a little crude . Today, those edges have gotten a bit smoother thanks to several new features.

First, you can now translate any text on the screen with the new Translate This Screen card. Just press and hold the Home button, press the Translate button and everything on the screen will be translated, provided your phone’s language is set to English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese or Russian. Also new is the Discover icon. Tap the icon when you browse the website and you will receive a stream of related content based on the images on your screen. Likewise, Now on Tap can now search by barcode or QR code to pull out tons of useful flashcards about what you want to buy.
