iPad: How to turn on/off live text

I have tried several times to go to to settings, camera, turn off live text and on. It clearly is not working. My keyboard will not come up on certain sites, very frustrating.

Use Live Text to get information from photos and images

Live Text recognizes information within your photos and online images, so you can make a call, send an email, or look up directions with a tap. You can also use Live Text in the Camera app or when using Camera in apps like Notes or Reminders — point your camera at a photo or image with text, then tap the Live Text button .

To turn on Live Text for all supported languages:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap Language & Region, then turn on Live Text.

To use Live Text, you need an iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or later with iOS 15 or later.


Live Text is also available on iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) or later, iPad Pro 11-inch (all models), iPad Air (3rd generation) or later, iPad (8th generation) or later, and iPad mini (5th generation) or later with iPadOS 15.1 or later.
