How to make your iPhone or iPad read signs, text and labels

2023-10-19 10:00:00

We’ve already shown you how you can use your iPhone/iPad equipped with a scanner LiDAR to take advantage of the people and door detection functions — something that can be very useful for those who have vision problems, for example.

Now, with iOS/iPadOS 17, Apple is expanding this. From these versions of operating systems, it is possible to point to any text shown on the screen so that the device reads what is written aloud.

Check out how to use it! ????

Compatibility

As the function requires a LiDAR sensor, your iPhone/iPad must have this component.

iPhones

iPhones 12 Pro e 12 Pro Max
iPhones 13 Pro e 13 Pro Max
iPhones 14 Pro e 14 Pro Max
iPhones 15 Pro e 15 Pro Max

iPads

11″ iPad Pro (2nd generation or newer) 12.9″ iPad Pro (4th generation or newer)

How to make iPhone/iPad read captured text

Open the Magnifier app on your iPhone or iPad, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (so the app controls appear). Then, select the last icon from left to right, on the fourth button (from top to bottom) and point the device at anything you want to hear out loud.

How to make the iPhone/iPad speak what it sees on the camera

With the Magnifier app open, select the same button used for the function shown above and the icon represented by a pointing hand. Then, just point your iPhone or iPad at whatever you want to hear.

Still on this function, Apple also allows you to change the way you point to a label or something like that. Still in detection, tap the gear icon (in the top left corner), go to “Point and Speak” and choose “Below” or “Above”.

Nice news, don’t you think? ????
