HOW TO Use Live Text in photos and videos >

1 Acquire your image

You can use the Live Text feature (copy, share, look up, and translate text) in three ways: using the live view in the Camera app; by opening an image in Photos; or by opening a video in the same Photos app.

2 Find out more

In this example, we’ve highlighted the name of the book’s author and then tapped on Look Up. This then brings up key information; the writer’s biography and key details from it, and their social media profiles too.

3 Grab from video

You can’t use Live Text as you record video, but you can use it during playback. As with a photo, highlight the text you want. This time we’ll use the Translation option to see what a phrase would be in mainland Chinese.
