Samsung One UI 5 Text Extraction: 

Samsung has recently introduced its new Android 13-based One UI 5 software that comes with so many new features including “Extract text”. This feature lets users copy text from Samsung Internet, Gallery, or any screenshot and paste it to any message, Notes app, or document on the same device.

Not only this, but the feature also lets you copy text from any pamphlet, banner, etc through Samsung Keyboard and send it to anyone without capturing its image. Thereby, making your gallery clean and offering you effortless access to the text.

Apple iOS 16 Text Extraction:

Samsung’s rival Apple has been offering a similar feature known as “Live Text” since iOS 15 and continues to provide the same in the new iOS 16. It allows you to pull text from photos and your live camera to use elsewhere.

You can snap a photo of a business card and later copy and paste that information into an email, or point your camera at a shop to quickly jump to its website and learn more about it.

It’s worth mentioning that iOS 16 also allows you to extract text from videos, which is a great implementation.

One UI 5 vs iOS 16 – Text Extraction:

The Text Extraction feature on both software is useful but I found Apple iOS 16’s more impressive. Unlike Samsung’s Extract text, which is limited to screenshots, images, camera capture, Internet, and more, Apple’s Live Text also allows you to pull text from videos.

At present, I can only wish that Samsung also brings the ability to copy text from videos to its Galaxy users soon.
