It is my understanding that the text recognition in the Magnifier app/feature does this, if not use the Seeing AI short text channel which definitely would do it if it sees any information it can read.

I feel the most importent thing which should be done by detection mode in pro searies is instant recognition or recognition of the text while on the move. If i am visiting any office, i should be able to take help from my phone for recognising the office doors and the short describtion written on the doors of the offices! or the name and the specialisation of the doctor in a hospital or the name of the lab etc. Some time I face difficulty in identifying the gate number, entry points and relevant section for our use, seeing AI and Envision AI doesn't help much in these cases.
