Capture text from images and videos in Photos
Capturing text from media works perfectly on an iPhone. It’s hard to believe it is a new feature
The iPhone camera is an extraordinarily versatile tool. You can scan barcodes, capture precious moments, take cinematic videos, scan documents and all within a specification that rivals many standalone cameras. You can now add to this the ability using Photos to capture any text that is displayed on a photo taken with the iPhone. It sounds like a gimmick you will rarely use, but trust us, when you use it you will realise how brilliantly it works and how useful the feature will be for you. We will show you how to use it and how to make the most of what it can offer and we are fairly sure it will stick with you. Many new iPhone features rarely get used, but this one is more likely to become a tool you pick up often.
