NotebookLM Upgraded to Support Image Import, Whiteboard Notes Become Searchable Knowledge Base
Google introduces image recognition features for NotebookLM, allowing users to upload whiteboard notes, textbooks, or table images, and automatically recognize text and perform semantic analysis. Users can directly search the content of images using natural language. This feature is free across all platforms and will soon add local processing options to protect privacy. The system uses multimodal technology to distinguish between handwritten and printed text, analyze table structures, and intelligently link with existing notes.
