Did you know that you can extract text from videos as well as photos! Just like magic, thanks to the iPhone Live Text feature, you can do exactly that. It will make the photos and videos exceedingly interactive. Apple had rolled out this feature with the launch of iOS 15, which allows iPhone users to aim the camera at a document, sign or any object which has text written over it and the Live Text feature will recognize information within your photos to let you make a call, send an email, or look up directions with a tap. It will also let you use the feature while using the applications such as Notes or Reminders to easily extract the text out of it. And now, with the iOS 16 update, you can even read, translate, and copy text from a video.

However, you should note that to use Live Text, you need an iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or later with iOS 15 or latest version. Also, you will need to ensure that you turn on Live Text for all supported languages. To do so, open the Settings app, go to the General settings, and tap Language & Region, and then turn on Live Text.
