Google Turns 27: Things You Can Do With Google That Most People Don’t Know

Google Turns 27: There are two sides to every story. Even with the many variations on these tales, the truth remains that this little search engine company began with big dreams back in 1998. On its 27th birthday, one would think it is the best time to go on to more than mere searches and discover some tricks and tools that most people are not aware of.

1. Google Lens – Search What You See

With Google Lens, you can point your camera to any object, which could be anything from a plant to an animal to even a math problem, and Google will identify it in no time. Picture this: a personal visual assistant right there in your pocket.

2. Hum to Search

Ever had your mind tuned to a particular song with no access to lyrics? Simply hum the tune into the search bar on Google or the Google app, and it will trace the song for you.

3. Offline Maps on Google Maps

Going to places without internet access? Well, you can have certain areas downloaded onto Google Maps to be used offline. Just right for a road trip or hiking trip!

4. Google Timer & Stopwatch

Just type in “set a timer for 10 minutes” or “stopwatch” straight into Google and voila, there you’ve got it running! No need for a separate app.

5. Hidden Games to Play

Such amazing fun Easter egg games are hidden by Google itself. Search for “Pac-Man,” “Snake game,” or “Dinosaur game” (which works when you are offline) and, voila, the entertainment is at your fingertips.

6. Live Translation of Any Language

Google Translate can pretty much do everything while it can translate written words, it can also translate spoken language in real-time or translate text from images using the camera.

7. Search by Handwriting

Google Input Tools allows you to doodle or write on-screen in various languages which are later converted into typed text by Google.
