Turning handwriting into digital text isn’t a new thing. It’s a feature that has appeared on flatbed scanners for years, sometimes with more success than others. ButApplebringing this feature to its camera can save you serious time and make organizing your notes much easier too.
Scan Text is a new addition toiOS15.4, as although iOS 15 has long been able to pull text out of images, such as signs and menus, and search for them, this goes one further. Now you can select big blocks of text and insert it straight into your Notes app.
The example Apple uses for the video is a recipe, which is definitely a use, but it’s also great for instruction manuals (that you can then throw away), meeting notes or those letters that you’re just not sure where to file. Personally, I use it for digitizing old song lyrics from my songwriter days.
iOS 15.4 also included the ability to use FaceID with a mask, 37 new emojis and 75 skin tone variations, the ability to turn off notifications for shortcuts, a new Apple Card widget in the wallet, a notes section in the iCloud keychain, custom email domains, tap to pay on your phone and lots more.
