Goggles, now in version 1.3, is also capable of reading ads in US magazines and newspapers and pulling up the appropriate websites. Recognition of bar codes has also gotten better, reported Google in its blog.

Goggles photographs items and loads them up to Google's servers, where they are analyzed before results are sent to the user's mobile.

Google says the app can also recognize products and famous sites. It also translates texts between English, German and Spanish.
