Apple rolled out the Live Text feature with iOS 15 update earlier this year. Despite being an interesting yet useful feature, it somehow went unnoticed among other more prominent features of the latest operating system.
What is Live Text feature?
The Live Text feature allows users to extract the text from an image right from the camera app or from any image in the Photos app. The feature automatically highlights the text in an image with a Yellow box around it.
The feature comes in really handy in case you want to quickly note down a phone number from a billboard, hoarding, etc. Or translate a text for better understanding.
