I'm really sorry if this is a stupid question, but
My two-year-old Motorola does all this, and I'm pretty sure my last one did as well.
Are the iphones just doing it that much better than my shitty android phone?
No idea tbh. OCR is not big deal but the author there is focusing on the translation aspect of the experience. If your Motorola phone is an Android, it is highly likely that the translation is done on a server somewhere. Your phone sends the text it wants to translate to a server and the server, being a more powerful computer than your phone, sends back to your phone the translated text. The difference with Apple's newer stuff is that the translation is done on the phone/macbook/ipad itself.
Oh so everything happens locally? Does it even require an internet connection?!? That's super cool
It should work without internet. The models and software needed to use those models are part of the OS itself. But with tech companies you never know. Apple is marketing their AI features as more "private" than what the market has to offer right now so it would be stupid if they make you require an internet connection for it.
Thank you for helping me understand! That is a really cool feature.
I just tested this on a 14 in airplane mode. Yes ocr translation works offline without the ai software (this phone won’t be supported by the package).
You gotta download the language packs to be able to translate though.
Thank you for checking! That's really neat, I'm legitimately jealous.
It’s better at “practical” stuff than random “donde esta la biblioteka” snippets out of a textbook, there’s only a bout 20 languages you can use offline and it does legit work better when you let it connect up, but yeah, it’s cool.
