Now On Tap Translate

With the new Google Now on Tap update you can instantly translate text on any screen, webpage or app. Even pages with multiple languages can be easily translated.

Its quite simple to use, just long press the home button and select "Translate this screen" card and the text on your screen will get translated in the chosen system language. Since Now on Tap only available on Marshmallow at present, you would be able to translate text into English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.

Translation is not the only trick that comes with the new update. You would now be able to read QR Codes and Barcodes with your camera. Just point your camera and you will be greeted with product related cards as well as user reviews.

With the new updates, Now on Tap is becoming more functional. From a feature that you rarely use, to one that replaces atleast two apps on your smartphones.
