Wiki says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ot%C3%A1vio_Good
To develop Word Lens, Otávio Good founded Quest Visual Inc., which was acquired by Google, Inc. in 2014, leading to the incorporation of the Word Lens feature into the Google Translate app in 2015.

Not only have they never heard of Word Lens, they are also obvious of the corresponding feature of Google Translate.
