Abstract
The subject technology provides for contextual text lookup for images. When a request is received by an electronic device to perform a lookup or search for text in an image that is displayed at the electronic device, the electronic device may obtain one or more search results, based on the text itself and based on contextual information derived, by the electronic device, from the image. In one or more implementations, application information associated with an application that displays the image may also be used as contextual metadata for enhancing the results of the search for the text from the image.
