You need to set it so that the right=hand button says “Still camera” which means that it’s in video mode. The button to the left of that will now say Record or Stop. Further to the left is the Change language now button which says EN for English. If you tap the Change language now button you have a huge choice of languages. I mainly use mine in French since I live in France so the items I wish to recognise are labelled in French.
The bigger the object you want to recognise, the further you should hold the iPhone away from the object. Remember that the camera is in the top right-hand corner of the back of the iPhone.
