iOS 15’s Live Text: Student uses the feature to steal notes from classmates through iPhone camera
IOS 15’s live text is used by a French student to steal his classmate’s notes using his iPhone camera. The iOS 15 logo appears on the phone screen, and the Apple logo in the background can be seen in this illustrative photo taken in Krakow, Poland, on September 21, 2021.
One of the recent notable features of iOS 15 is Live Text. It allows users to copy words employing a smartphone camera. The functionality works in two ways. One of them is to point the iPhone camera lens at the text the user wants to copy. The other option works by selecting an image in the Photos app on an iPhone or iPad.
We should remember that the latest iOS 15 feature only works on Apple’s mobile operating system for users with iPhone XS and above. Initially, Apple announced that the feature helps its users copy text from business cards or scan paper documents.
However, a student found a way to take advantage of iOS 15’s live text feature so that they wouldn’t waste time writing their notes. According to Mashable’s report, the French student even posted how he used the live text feature to copy another person’s grades in class.

The video showcasing the capabilities of Live Text was first posted by a TikTok user by the name of Yann Bernillie, who is also a French student. Meanwhile, the video recently became the city’s talking point on Twitter after a French writer with the username @juanbuis reposted the TikTok video on the microblogging platform.

The French marker went on to say that “students are starting to steal their bills with iOS 15, adding that he considers him “a kind of genius.” In the TikTok video, the French student continued to show how he had stolen notes. He used his iPhone’s camera at 5.5x zoom and copied the text to another person’s laptop using Live Text.

UberGizmo, you use the camera of a smartphone to copy notes, but this is not really new. Students took a photo of the notes that professors or teachers wrote on the board instead of following the tedious path of their latest method that the French student exposed on TikTok shows an innovative way to fill in notes on a word processing app instead of a photo.
ORC apps, similar to the new feature on iOS, have been around for a long time, in the flesh of Google Lens on Android and other counterparts, according to Beebom. However, it’s worth noting that Live Text is Apple’s first integration into the feature ecosystem, which works on newer iPhones and iPads.
