A useful tip. (self.Blind)
submitted by chrystalalex
So, if you use an iPhone, and frequent other social media platforms, you'll no doubt be as frustrated as I am by that constant, photo, image may contain text. well, I learned a valuable hint to get around that. Take a screenshot of the offending photo, and a button will pop up that says screenshot. Double tap the screen anywhere when that happens, and this will bring up another screen. Select share, then right down the bottom, select recognize with Seeing AI. Voila. You can now read that text. If you find it doesn't work, and just gets stuck on the processing screen, open Seeing AI then try again.

Will definitely keep that in mind. Doesn't it also only wor if screen curtain is off though?

I believe screenshots only work with screen curtain off.

I have found that it makes no difference. Weird right? The other thing I forgot to mention is, when you've finished with it, hit the done button, and you can choose to delete the screenshot or save it or whatever. you'll probably need to swing the rota around to vertical navigation to find the delete button easier.

Yeah cool. I've not tried it over there because I hate Insta, but Facebook on the other hand, is proving to be even more enjoyable for me.
