Hi, is there a possibility to use the OCR from the photos app/ spotlight of iOS 15 in panels? Would be handy to be able to define text on screen or search etc
Thanks for the feedback @Ajay.
As far as I know, Live Text from iOS 15 is not open for developers. It’s just a feature in Apple apps.
Live Text works in Photos, Screenshot, Quick Look, and Safari and in live previews with Camera.

But it seems to come now with iOS16, really excited what you guys can say about a possible implementation of it in the near future. You can’t imagine how often I already tried to mark a text to translate and remembering that it worked only in Apple own applications yet (Safari, Preview, Mail, etc.). But the new LiveText-API sounds promising.

On iOS/iPadOS 16, Apple added support to Live Text API. This can helps a lot when we are reading a manga/manhwa/comic and we need to translate some word. Please, make this happens on Panels.

+1, please please please implement this. I was really surprised that even my older iPads can do live text!
I really want to copy text directly from Panels and paste into my Japanese and Chinese dictionaries.

Hi, @Leoofborg. I agree with you. This will bring more facilities to read comics in a foreign language.
You don’t need to copy if Live Text is implemented using the standard pattern. It will be easier. You need to select the text and use the built-in translation tool.

Hi @dani , any news about this?
Not yet. It’s still on the roadmap, though. We haven’t gotten there yet.
