iOS 17 will recognize ISO symbols through visual search

iOS 17 beta 2 is already with us and we can see how Apple is developing beta by beta. News will cont inue to arrive, errors will be polite and, in short, we will gradually climb until we reach the final versions that we will see in October. Another option integrated by the big apple into iOS 17 and iPadOS is detection and recognition of ISO symbols in Visual Search,

a tool that captures and recognizes elements in images from our gallery. Now we will be able to know what the symbols mean on the labels of the clothes or those that we find on the packaging of the parcels that we receive daily.

iOS 17 visual search integrates ISO symbol query

Visual Search is a feature that arrived in iOS 16 that allowed the user to discover curiosities in the images recorded in the roll. This tool was activated under an ‘i’ symbol with stars at the bottom once inside the image in question. visual search It allows us to detect where a photograph was taken because it recognizes a monument or says what species is a flower we have captured or what breed is a dog.

These curiosities have taken a further leap by incorporating the ISO symbols.

Thanks to the medium MacRumors, we can have proof of this function since at present in some countries, such as USA, this feature is not yet available.

In the screenshot we can see how a clothing tag has been captured and visual search recognizes all ISO standardization symbols and sets out its meaning alongside. This search is conducted through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) online search platform.

We still don’t know how far this function can go and we don’t even know which standardization sectors are consulted by the tool. But it looks like Apple has started working on its Google lens particular.
