One of the features that Apple added with the latest update is the ‘Scan Text’ shortcut in Notes app. Here’s what the shortcut does and how you can use it.

As the name suggests, the Scan Text shortcut allows you to scan the text through the iPhone’s camera. It can also be considered as a toned down version of the Live Text feature that was released with the iOS 15. For those who don’t know, the Live Text is a feature that recognises information using camera and saved images. It allows users to send an email, make a call and even look for directions on maps by just accessing the text in the camera frame or any image saved in the gallery. This feature also gives users the power to translate text from an image to another language.
