Google Goggles 1.3 now faster and even solves Sudoku

Google has just announced its latest update on its Google Goggles app that carries version 1.3 is improved with faster performance than before.

Scanning barcodes are now done in an instant. You no longer need to manually take a shot as it will immediately recognise the barcode by simply hovering over it. However as usual, most Malaysian products may not return results and this probably work better on international products. Another improvement is Goggles ability to recognise print ads. According to Google, Goggles is now capable of detecting print ads from U.S. magazines and newspaper from August 2010 onwards.

The biggest and most interesting feature for this version however is Goggle’s ability to solve Sudoku puzzles. We don’t play Sudoku but it is understandable how frustrating it is to get stuck and not being about to solve it. The next time you get into such situation, just launch Goggles and take a picture of the whole Sudoku puzzle. To download, search for Goggles in Android Market or at the AppStore.
