Hi Mary. Okay let me be more exact, if you take a picture, okay if you like me go out to something and take maybe 40 different pictures, it is really nice that your iPhone tries to explain to you what is on them, and it is closer to being right on the money more often than not. I think you are meaning O C R? The iPhone don’t tell me it is a black chevy parked at day time, at least not its inbuilt, other programs does however. Sometimes i think we need to take a step back, and be like, how would my life be if i did not have this device?
