TapTechNews May 14th news, Google plans to expand the Circle Search feature, adding barcode recognition.
Currently, when Circle Search encounters a barcode in an image, it does not read the content of the barcode, but instead shows other related barcodes to users. Tech media AndroidAuthority dissected the APK installation package of the Google app and found that Google plans to give it the ability to recognize barcodes.
The media decompiled the 15.19.45.29.arm64 test version and found relevant code. The code is as follows:
<string name=omnient_1d_barcode_action>Search this barcode</string>The string has a word omnient before barcode_action, and Omnient is the internal codename for Circle to Search.
