Reading & listening

Get an AI explanation

Choose Explain it for a new photo, or add an explanation to a reading you have already saved.

For iPhone & iPad · App version 1.0 · Updated

An explanation puts the content of a photo into simpler language. It is a separate AI response, so it can leave out details or misunderstand the photo.

  1. Explain a new photo

    Take or choose a photo from the home screen. In New reading, select Explain it, then tap Explain photo. Review the OpenAI sharing permission if it appears.

  2. Or explain a saved photo

    Open a saved reading that has a source photo and does not already have an explanation. Tap Explain this photo. The app uses that saved photo to create the explanation.

  3. Read or listen to the result

    When a reading contains both versions, use Original text and Explanation to switch between them. Listen reads the version you have selected. The explanation stays with the saved reading.

Keep the original close

Use View original photo to check details. Explanations are a reading aid, not a substitute for professional advice or checking important information.

Uses your daily allowance

Creating an explanation uses the same daily allowance as reading a photo. Reopening or listening to an explanation already saved on your device does not use another request.
