When using the Camera app to take a photo, VoiceOver also describes what&#8217;s visible in the viewfinder. VoiceOver lets you know if an image has sensitive content before it describes the image. Image Descriptions&nbsp;is available in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin &#8211; China mainland), English (U.K.), English (U.S.), French (France), German (Germany), Italian (Italy), Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Spanish (Spain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Screen Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Screen Recognition is on, VoiceOver recognizes an app&#8217;s interface controls to help you navigate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Text Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Text Recognition is on, VoiceOver reads the text it identifies within images and&nbsp;photos.
