Chrome’s Android app will now let you zoom in on text without affecting the webpage

Key takeaways:

  • Chrome for Android now lets users zoom in on just the text using a slider without affecting the page layout.
  • Chrome’s desktop version can now automatically recognize text in scanned PDFs, making it easier to highlight, copy, or use screen readers.
  • Google’s TalkBack screenreader on Android now supports follow-up questions about images, like identifying colors or objects.
  • A new feature called Expressive Captions uses AI to show real-time captions that reflect how something is said, including emotional expressions.
  • Expressive Captions also adds support for non-verbal sounds like whistling or throat clearing, rolling out in English on Android 15+ in select countries.
