The instrument used was a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and learning engagement. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparative analysis with SPSS. The findings reveal a statistically significant difference between students’ perceptions of Google Lens and traditional printed dictionaries, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Students demonstrated more positive perceptions toward Google Lens in terms of practicality, efficiency, and engagement. Therefore, it can be concluded that Google Lens is perceived as a more effective and acceptable medium for vocabulary learning in the digital era.
