You can digitize recipes, handwritten notes, and more with this iPhone trick. There’s a better way to digitize handwritten notes, old family recipes, or any other hard-paper copy that might exist. The iPhone has a feature called Live Text that can quickly digitize notes (and anything else).
Live Text is a computer vision-based tool that lets your iPhone use its camera to copy and paste photos from text, among other features. It was announced at Apple’s virtual WWDC 2021 and is one of the features available in Apple’s iOS 15.
Copying and pasting text from images is not new to smartphones. With Google Lens, Android users may already be familiar with this feature, but for the tens of millions of people who use an iPhone, you’ll need iOS 15 or later to use it. Live Text is a little different from Google Lens in that you can use it to select, copy, and paste text in real-time from your camera because your iPhone is trained to recognize useful information. As I said before, it’s a useful productivity tool for copying handwritten notes or text from images and then digitizing them.
Live Text: Here’s how to copy and paste text from photos
1. Make sure your iPhone has iOS 15 installed.
2. Point the camera at the object with any text you want to copy. You’ll know Live Text is on as soon as you see a yellow outline around the text.
3. Click the live text icon in the lower right corner of the image to interact with any text in the frame.
4. Press to select text to copy as in a note or text message.
5. Click Copy.
6. Paste this text into another application, such as Gmail or Notes.
Much like Google Lens, Live Text can also search for text in images stored in the Photos app. For example, if there is a phone number in the image, you can click on it to dial that number, or if there is a French word, you can translate it to English.
