"Text recognition display" is not possible on iOS 15!? --Because I can't hear it now, why is it an iPhone?

Speaking of "search" in personal computers and smartphones, the target is "text", sentences spelled in files and webs.It is a target of the act of searching for the so -called text data that can be input through keyboards and audio inputs, and a long -term collection of characters written on Web pages and emails.Even if the letters happen to be in the photo, it is not a text data but an image data, so it is usually not a search.

The iOS 15 new feature, "Live Text", is a kind of OCR function that works on characters in the photo.It detects characters in photos online, such as photos and web pages stored in the photo library, so that they can be treated as textbooks.It is also possible to copy by specifying the range from iOS 15, even though it can be recognized as a letter in the human eye, but it cannot be handled as a text data.

This function does not work in all characters because it has a close relationship with the language supported by iOS.As of September 2021, the corresponding iPhone is limited to the XS/XR, and the supported language is limited to English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, unfortunately Japanese is not compatible.。Therefore, even if you shoot documents and landscapes that contain Japanese, the camera app will not respond.

However, if the language used in the iPhone is changed to a language type supported by text recognition display such as English, the language/character will be automatically detected.For example, if you open the screen in the order of "Settings" → "General" → "Language and Region" → "Language of iPhone", and then changed the language to "Traditional Women", the kanji contained in the photo will be detected.It will be so.

However, if the only target is English/alphabet, you can search for characters taken on your iPhone by searching in the spotlight even in the Japanese environment.It is not possible to use the text recognition display of selecting/copying the detected characters, but it is also possible to use a convenient use, such as searching for photos in the company name reflected in product photos such as "Apple" and "Sony".More.
