Many entrepreneurs receive screenshots, photos, event flyers, and business cards containing information they need to use. Instead of manually typing website addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, or other text, your phone may already have a built-in feature that can do the work for you.

Have you ever received a photo that contained information you needed to use?
Maybe it was:
- A website address
- An email address
- A phone number
- An event flyer
- A screenshot with important information
Most people look at the photo and start typing everything manually.
But your phone may already have a faster way.
Meet Live Text
Live Text is a feature that allows your phone to recognize text inside a photo.
Instead of retyping information, you can simply tap on the text and interact with it.
Depending on what’s in the image, you can:
- Open a website
- Send an email
- Make a phone call
- Copy text
- Save information
All directly from the photo.
Why This Matters
Think about how often someone sends you:
- A screenshot
- A business card
- An event flyer
- A photo with contact information
Without Live Text, you’re manually typing everything.
With Live Text, your phone does the work for you.
It’s one of those small features that can save time and reduce frustration.
My Favorite Use
One of my favorite uses is when someone sends me a screenshot containing a website address.
Instead of typing the entire web address myself, I simply tap the text and open the link.
It’s faster, easier, and helps avoid typing mistakes.
Technology Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
This is one of those features that many people already have on their phone but don’t realize exists.
You don’t need a new app.
You don’t need special training.
You just need to know it’s there.
Sometimes building tech confidence is simply discovering tools you already have.
Your 5-Minute Action Step
Find a photo on your phone that contains text.
Press and hold on the text.
See what options appear.
Try copying the text or opening a website.
You might be surprised by what your phone can already do.
Tech Confidence Takeaway
Technology doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the most useful tools are already in your pocket.
