Image Scan then Search Identification #29915

Open xingchon opened 11 months ago

xingchon commented 11 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Image Scan to conveniently search its identification from anywhere on screen.

Scenario when this would be used?

It's sometimes easy just to drop an image in the web search, but it is also more convenient just to act like the current text extractor feature, yet this one works for an image identification.

Can you give a specific example of how details of an identification you are looking to receive? Also what API/Service do you suspect could be used to do the identification work? /needinfo

If an app detect an identifiable object within the selected area by the user anywhere in the screen, the specific example of an identification would be: name of the object, other details that describes the object like OSASCOMP, and etc.

I am not sure if my answer would be correct regarding the question of what API to be used, perhaps redirect or link to the existing Bing AI that is capable in Identifying image, without launching the Edge browser if possible.

Thanks...
