How do I get ChatGPT to read a photo of text?
You will learn how to add a photo so ChatGPT can read it.
ChatGPT can read words inside a photo. This is handy for a letter or a label.
You take a picture, add it to the chat, and ask what it says.
Try this
- Open ChatGPT.
- Take a clear photo of the text. Good light helps.
- Tap the plus sign or paperclip near the message box.
- Choose your photo from your phone.
- Type: What does this say?
- Press send and wait a moment.
A message you can copy
Please read the words in this photo. Tell me what it says in plain language.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

Buddy says
Hold the phone steady. Fill the screen with the text. Clear photos read best.
