True, but when I read that post and other articles on the web, it sounded like the live text feature was just for OCR on text and the image recognition feature only worked on photos. Obviously, I could have read things wrong, but I was still surprised when placing VoiceOver focus in the view finder of my camera app instantly recognized object and did OCR on any text it came across all at the same time.

The live text feature came in iOS 15 last September. There is also a podcast by Thomas Donnville on the live text feature. You can read that blog post here: https://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-releases-ios-15-ipados-15-bringing-focus-modes-live-text-enhancements-multitasking I do not recall if older phones cannot perform the live text do to their chip limitation; but a call to Apple Accessibility would answer that. 1-877-204-3930 HTH, Richard “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.

This is how clueless I am, but I was looking for a screen recording I’d just done, and not knowing where else to look, I brought up the camera app. While I was exploring the camera app, I heard it announcing things like no people, keyboard, … I realized it was telling me what was on my desk! After playing around, I found out that if you move focus to the top to the view finder, the camera app will read text to you and identify objects. I ran downstairs to show my wife, and I heard it say “cat on a flat surface with a laptop and a glass with a beverage”. I was pointing it at my kitchen table which had our cat on it, waiting to be fed, my wife’s laptop and her glass of sparkling water! It’s not going to replace the Seeing AI app for me yet, but it seemed awfully fast and accurate! -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
