Google is working with pharmacists to create an AI model that can read hard-to-read handwriting — something doctors have long been accused of having.
The company demonstrated the AI feature at its annual Google for India conference on Monday, but Dr. Manish Gupta, director of research at Google India, said "much work still remains to be done before the system is ready for the real world."
From the demonstration, it looks like users can take a photo of their prescription or upload a photo to the tool for processing. Any medications in the note will be highlighted.
The tool, which has no expected launch date, would be a part of Google Lens — Google's AI tool that can translate languages and recognize different objects, available in the search bar of the Google app.

Doctors have long been accused of sloppy handwriting. Google is using AI to translate their scribbled notes.
Google announced it's working with pharmacists to make an AI model in Google Lens that can translate difficult-to-read handwriting like doctors' notes.
