Hi albertofrommission,


For help with the feature, use the links included in the steps below to ensure you have a support device and region.


"Scan text into a note

You can insert scanned text using the camera (on supported models; in supported languages).

  1. In a note, tap the Camera button, then tap Scan Text.
  2. Position iPhone so that the text appears within the camera frame.
  3. After the yellow frame appears around detected text, tap the Live Text button.
  4. Drag or use grab points to select text, then tap Insert."


You can also find the information above in the article here: Scan text and documents in Notes using the iPhone camera - Apple Support


Moreover if you're using an iPhone 8 as listed in your post details, this device isn't listed. Models that support Live Text and Visual Look Up



Best.
