With iOS 15, students will say goodbye to this heavy task

We are about to attend Apple‘s big software updates this year. The iPhone will soon receive iOS 15 and with this you can start enjoying all the news that have already been presented and that, surely, will be a relief in many cases. One of them is the Live Text function, which could save you a lot of time if you are a student. We tell you more in this post.

iOS 15

Why are you interested in this new iPhone feature?

We are not going to judge whether the student’s life is really the best or not, but it is clear that it is not simple either. One of the heaviest tasks that are carried out is that of passing notes to clean . If you have missed a day of class or for any reason you did not take notes, this becomes even more tedious because you will have to ask a classmate for notes.

It is precisely at this last point that the Live Text function comes into play. If your partner has sent you a photo of the notes , the way you have so far to clean them up is by copying them by hand on your own or by transferring them to a computer. Well … It’s over! This new feature in iOS 15 allows you to detect the text in a photo and treat it as if it were digital text.

Therefore, you can directly select the text from your photos and paste it into a text editor (Word, Pages, Notes, etc.). This way you will save a lot of time (and hand pain) by not having to pass it manually. You can later edit it, add shading, underlines, additional annotations or whatever you want because it will be a digital text like any other. And best of all, it will also be in iPadOS 15 , so if you use an iPad as a notebook you can also carry out this task.

Of course, this function will not be on all iPhone and iPad , since it requires a series of more recent processors than those of the iPhone 6s, for example, which will be compatible with iOS 15. The list of devices that may have it is is:

  • iPhone XS and later (including ‘XR’)
  • iPad (2020) and later
  • iPad mini (5th gen.) and later
  • iPad Air (2019) and later
  • iPad Pro (2020) and later

iOS 15 could arrive this week

Apple presented this new version in June accompanied by the corresponding ones for iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Although it has been (and is) in beta for developers, the truth is that it is not yet officially available to the public. However, it is expected that this long-awaited update could finally arrive this week.

Tomorrow the Apple Event will be held in which the iPhone 13 will be presented, among others. Most likely, at the end of this event, the company will announce the launch date of iOS 15. Last year they placed it at day after the event, so it would not be surprising that now the same thing is going to happen and can be available on Wednesday . And if not, it would not take long because the new iPhones will already bring this version as standard.
