2. Pick the Right Mode

Search: general object/landmark/animal ID.

Text: OCR copy and paste, call numbers recognize, open URL or save events.

Shopping: locating exact or visually similar item purchase links.

Exercises: solutions of math, chemistry and physics.

Eating: snap a shot of a restaurant front or menu for ratings, dish choices.

Places: find buildings, museums and parks plus hours, tickets and directions.

3. Capture or Import

Live: frame the subject; Lens will AF and begin to analyse.

Multi-select: drag for crop the round & corner to easily crop only the part of the image that you require and prevent re-cropping needed from other software's.
