This series of articles is designed to not only introduce you to new or updated features of Monterey, but to be a reference for readers of The Rocket Yard once&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/75241-deeper-dive-wwdc21-keynote\/\">Monterey<\/a> arrives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are currently three other articles in this series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/76834-the-road-to-macos-monterey-focus\/\">Focus<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/76914-the-road-to-macos-monterey-airplay-to-mac\/\">Safari<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/76995-the-road-to-macos-monterey-airplay-to-mac\/\">AirPlay to Mac<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we\u2019ll take a look at the new <strong>Live Text<\/strong> feature of <strong>macOS Monterey<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-live-text\">What is Live Text?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Live Text is a Monterey feature that lets you interact with text in any image. Those images can be in your Photos library, in a website article, or scanned using an iPhone or document scanner.&nbsp;Your Mac processes each image with character and word recognition in real-time to make this possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example. I went camping last month at a National Forest campground in Colorado, and I took a picture of the iconic US Forest Service sign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77065\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-160x120.jpeg 160w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-284x213.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-190x143.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-160x120@2x.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-284x213@2x.jpeg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/IMG_2290-190x143@2x.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Photo of a sign<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s see the magic of this feature in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By clicking on the photo and dragging across the sign, the text is highlighted. With a right-click, I find that I can look up that text (do a Spotlight search), translate it if it is in another language, do a web search using the default search engine, copy the text, share it, or use various services to move the text to other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey.jpg\" alt=\"Live Text in action. \" class=\"wp-image-77066\" width=\"600\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-172x120.jpg 172w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-284x198.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-190x133.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-172x120@2x.jpg 344w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-284x198@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_MacOS_Monterey-190x133@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Live Text in action.

Even stylized and hand-written text was usually copied and could be translated. That wasn\u2019t the case with Russian, although that could change once Monterey ships.&nbsp;This sign (at Disney Animal Kingdom in Orlando, FL) mixes font sizes and styles, yet Live Text copied the text&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">SEE Tigers,<br \/>Bats<br \/>Dragons<br \/>Maharajah Jungle Trek<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>perfectly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey.jpg\" alt=\"Live text at Animal Kingdom\" class=\"wp-image-77068\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-284x213.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-190x143.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-160x120@2x.jpg 320w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-284x213@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Live_Text_Different_Fonts_Monterey-190x143@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Live Text copied this text that was of different sizes, colors, and typefaces<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Live Text is very useful when looking at photos, of course. Did you take a picture of a restaurant sign or window, and you&#8217;d like to make a reservation there? Just click the phone number in the picture to call it, send a text, or save it. See something with a long web address? Take a picture of it and use Live Text to click the URL &#8212; no need to retype it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-live-text-also-in-ios-and-ipados-15\">Live Text: Also in iOS and iPadOS 15<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As cool as this feature is, you&#8217;re going to want it everywhere. Apple is happy to oblige by putting Live Text as a feature in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, also expected early this fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-come-back-to-rocket-yard-for-more-macos-monterey-tips\">Come back to Rocket Yard for more macOS Monterey tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Live Text is just one of the new features of macOS 12 Monterey.
