JAKARTA - Google is introducing some new features for Android users, which will allow them to remain productive even without using a PC or laptop.

First, Google is rolling out a new markup on Google Docs, which allows you to add handwritten annotations to Documents from Android phones or tablets only with fingers or stylus.

You can also adjust this markup tool such as different pen colors and counters, review documents and provide feedback to be fast, flexible, and easy.

Thus, you will be able to immediately provide a repair note in the document regarding the contents of the document easily and quickly.

Second, with an image caption on Lookout on Android, you can listen to the AI description that is automatically created regarding photos, images online, and images included in the message.

Director of Senior, Product and Design, Wear OS by Google & GM, Android Health, John Renaldi said that this feature was designed for the blind and low-vision community. This feature is now being launched globally in English.

Furthermore, Google is also increasing screen reader support for Lens on Maps, to help you explore the area around and identify places like ATMs, restaurants, and transit stations.

"Now you can point your phone's camera around you and TalkBack will read out the information of the place clearly, such as opening hours, ratings, or directions to get there," said Renaldi.
