ChatGPT can look at a photo and help you with it. This is very handy.

Maybe you want help reading a label or letter. A photo makes that easy.

Near the message box there is a way to add a picture. It often looks like a plus or a camera.

Add the photo, then type your question about it. ChatGPT will look and reply.

Try this
  1. Tap the plus or camera shape near the message box.
  2. Choose to take a new photo or pick one you already have.
  3. Add the photo to your chat.
  4. Type a short question, like what does this say?
  5. Send it and wait for the answer.
A message you can copy

Can you tell me what this label says and explain it in simple words?

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.
