## The benefits of visual search software

-   **Enable wordless search:** These tools allow users to simplify online searches when they lack the right words to describe what they’re looking for. They can simply ask search engines to source a photo or image of what they're looking for, and receive relevant information.
    
-   **Effortless searching:** Visual search software removes the need to type out multiple keywords and/or combinations of keywords, and then scroll through endless results to find what the searcher is looking for. Users can simply upload an image or photo and obtain highly relevant/accurate results.
    

* * *

## Typical features of visual search software

-   **Image recognition:** Ability to recognize objects, people, locations, and actions in images.
    
-   **Image queries:** Run an image-based query to obtain associated/related information.
    
-   **Reverse image search:** Enables users to extract information about the uploaded image from search engines.
    
-   **Optical character recognition:** Recognizes text within a digital image and converts it into editable, machine-readable text.
    

* * *

## The cost of visual search software

Most products in the market are priced on a per user, per month basis and can be divided into three pricing tiers based on their starting price.

**Price ranges\*:**

-   $3 - $5
    
-   $5 - $10
    
-   $10+
    

_\*The pricing included is for the entry-level/lowest priced offering found on vendor websites on June 13, 2019. These ranges correspond to the 25th, 75th, and 100th percentiles of pricing information gathered from vendor websites of sample products._

The above list summarizes pricing for the base plans of most products. An enterprise or premium product that is priced higher may include additional features such as advanced search, image filters, and third-party integrations.

* * *

## Considerations when purchasing visual search software

-   **The software should be mobile-ready:** The most prominent use case for visual search is using the camera in a mobile device to capture images from a user's surroundings and searching for more information. For this to work, the software you choose must be mobile-ready and integrate with various mobile devices. Be sure to discuss all relevant application areas with potential software vendors to avoid system compatibility issues later.
    

* * *

## Relevant visual search software trends

-   **Integration with product configurator to simplify the buying process:** Product configuration is when consumers design and purchase a customized product. Associated technology is primarily used in the retail industry; retail businesses leverage this tech to create and deliver customized products to their buyers. The integration of product configurators with visualization technology (such as visual search software) simplifies the buying process, and increases consumer confidence in their purchase. Expect to see the integration of these tools continue expanding in the coming years.
    
-   **Augmented reality (AR) technology will continue to provide real-time product information:** AR technology allows users to use their mobile devices to search and immediately receive information about products or items around them. Visual search tools like Google Lens allow users to download a smartphone app, and use their camera's viewfinder to discover information about whatever it's pointed at. If available, the application will display relevant and related information on the user's screen almost immediately. Expect applications such as this to continue improving and see more widespread use as the technology is further developed.
