Have you ever received an image in which you could not determine the content? If you have, you know that trying to figure out what a picture is of can be a pretty time consuming task. Search after search in a typical search engine will take you at least a few minutes before you figure out what you are looking at. Well Macroglossa has attempted to solve this problem. You simply select an image file f rom your devicer, run it through their reverse image search, and receive a list results. All results contain both the content of the image (in English) as well as other images of the same or similar content.

If no matches were found in any case the engine will propose some results,hoping to stimulate your curiosity.

MACROGLOSSA wants to push the limits of the Web, giving users an alternative way to achieve many research goals. Engine Comparer Technology compares your image with other images available on the web. It looks for similarities and / or matches, giving the results page for visual references, accompanied by a link to the site on which the image was found.

What’s MACROGLOSSA?

MACROGLOSSA is a search engine based on the comparison of images. The operation is simple: Have you taken a picture of something you could not identify? Maybe you’re not sure what animal is contained in the image? In order to learn more about the content of your image, you can simply upload the image file to MACROGLOSSA and begin your search.

you just have to wait ... and rest assured that the result will be useful and fun.
The search time could be quite long because the engine is running a series of real-time controls to make sure that the results are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

By now search categories are:

Animals
Biological
Artistic
Panoramic
Botanical

For all categories the image-data-store grows day by day.
More search categories will be add in future.
