Hi everyone. My name is Rosemarie, founder of TechAble Assistive Technology.
Today I'd like to introduce the Live Text feature, the new feature available in iOS 15.
With the Live Text feature, the text in a photo, screenshot, or camera view can be recognized and
captured. And the captured text can be read aloud, copied and pasted into a note or email,
and also the captured text can be translated into another language instantly.
I've previously introduced a couple apps, which can assist the users who have difficulty in
reading text. And I've included the link to those videos in the description section of this video.
So the live text can work similar to those apps,
but features offered directly from your camera without using any app. Okay, let's take a look at it.
To use the Live Text feature, the users need an iPhone Xs or later model with iOS 15 operating
system running. To turn on the Live Text feature in the camera app, go to Settings,
scroll down and find Camera.
And under Camera, you'll see Show Detected Text feature, and make sure this toggle is on.
The Live Text currently supports English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
In order to turn on Live Text for all supported languages, go to Settings,
and under General,
go to Language & Region.
And here, make sure this Live Text feature is turned on.
Now, to use the Live Text feature, open Camera app.
And let me grab this box, and this box has information on it. When I point the camera
to the box, which has text on it, as you can see, the camera recognize the text by displaying the
box around the text. So if I move my camera up here, now box is move to the top square. And then if I
focus to the bottom information, you can see the yellow box is around the text.
And on the bottom right corner of the screen, it displays the Live Text symbol. So if I tap it,
the camera captures the text and shows on the screen. And from here, I can select all text or just
select the part of the text. And I can make it read the text aloud to me by tapping the Speak button.
(sound from iPhone) sure the best quality possible we proudly offer a lifetime warranty on our screen protectors..
Or, I can make it translate into another language by tapping the Translate button.
I currently have it translated into Korean,
but if you scroll down, you can change the language by tapping this Change Language button.
And, choose from here. I'll exit out, and I can close it. I can also copy the text from here,
and paste into a note or an email. So if I select all text, I can copy and then go to Note
and paste into a note. And I can edit the text from the note.
Like that or like that.
Let me try one more time with different box. So I'm gonna open up the Camera app and then let's see
which text I want to grab. Okay, so I'm gonna tap the Live Text symbol on the screen.
And then this time let me select this word. And then I'm going to select Look Up
to get the definition of the word.
Okay, and I can close this.
I've shown you how to use the Live Text feature on iOS 15. Tt's a very useful feature.
So if you are interested in it, try to upgrade your iPhone to iOS 15,
and start using it. That's all I have for today. Thank you for watching!
