Next time you go to a restaurant and can't understand what's on the menu, give Gemini/Gemini Live a try.
It can help you understand what each menu item is really quickly. And with captions support in Live, you can read what it's saying even if it's noisy.
Plus if you want to see photos of the food, just use Circle to Search to quickly see them from Google without leaving Gemini.
This reads like an ad lol but I genuinely did this last night at an Italian restaurant and it was great.
