Tip of the Day: On iOS at least, you can long-press any text in any language contained within saved photos/screenshots and copy and/or translate. You can also do this with Google Lens. I use this on a daily basis.

I use it mostly to search for certain screenshots/photos in my gallery 🫶❤️

Don’t have any other use for it yet personally

On archive.org I’ll screenshot an excerpt from a book I want to share and then I can just copy the text right out of the page without transcribing, though there may be some errors!

The iPhone can select text and click translate directly

From the camera?

Directly click Select text, in the pop-up window there is the translation option

Oh right, yes I do that as well. It was a surprise to me though that you could do it “offline” with your own photos and screenshots
