Sorry, can't help you there as I have an iPhone 11 which doesn't have LiDAR and while it might be a nice feature, I am currently in no hurry to upgrade my phone. I'll see what the iPhone 15 line up will offer next year and maybe I'll upgrade then, but definitely not sooner and maybe not even then. I used to upgrade every second year for the most part, but lately do I not only see less and less of a desire to upgrade for relatively minor features or features which I may use 3 times a year, but I am also trying to at least become a more responsible global citizen by consuming less. It goes beyond the scope of this post and even the list, but I recently read a thought provoking article which stated that our society really has to shift to a different way of life before we can actually make headway with things like reducing carbon emissions, garbage, food waste and so many other things which seem to have become big issues. I am not saying I completely stopped buying stuff I might like, but I definitely think a bit more first and in some cases I do actually find that I decide I may not need something.

The term LiDAR stands for "Light Detection and Ranging" which means the LiDAR sensor consists of an transmitter which sends out a laser beam, this is reflected by an object or objects and received again by the receiver component of the sensor. Then the "TOF" which stands for time of flight is used to calculate the distance so while LiDAR might be used to enable features like door detection and so on, it has nothing to do with performing OCR on printed text. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Carolyn Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2022 6:15 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Reading prescription labels You could gently remove the label and get Seeing A I to read it. I guess LiDAR could, if you have it? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2022 8:12 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Reading prescription labels The problem is reading on the curve. The best solution is to get the pharmacy to connect with Envision America and their ScrirtTalk program which gives visually impaired people access to all of the medication info including the prescription number and refills remaining, etc. You could try Voice Dream Scanner.

I tried seeing ai but it didn't work very well at all. The rx number was too high on the label and the container lid got in the way I think. -- Sincerely, Donald Raikes, CPACC Accessibility Specialist IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/cpacccertification__;!!GqivPVa7Brio!ITXXARxD3iTCnbAoB96JZAdz253IVd2urWYbOsB5MNjTAjmFErX-iqpRl4NrjAo7$> competencies -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
