API for Google Goggles or Visual Search?

Question

Are there any APIs similar to Google Goggles that accepts a picture as input and outputs text descriptions?

In other words, we're looking for a visual search API. if we submit photos, we want the service to say what the item is and provide a brief description ... similar to Google Goggles.

Does this exist?
