Hello, You can actually label a picture in your Photos app by performing the two-finger double tap and hold. This is the same gesture when re-labelling a button in an app.
The only thing is that you will need to use either TapTapSee or iDentifi to get some information on the photo, or perhaps ask a sighted family member for a description. Then you open the Photos app, find the picture you wish to relabel, bring VoiceOver focus on the picture and then perform the gesture. When the edit box opens up, then type the description you want then press save. Do keep in mind that this description will only work with pictures in your camera roll. If you copy over this image off of your phone onto your computer, drop box or anywhere else, the description does not folow. I had backed up my photos onto Drop Box when I needed to format my iPhone and when I copied them back into my camera roll, I no longer had any description. It is the same when opening a picture from your camera roll from another app, you might not always get the description. For example, if you are in Facebook and want to upload a picture from your camera roll, when navigating the picture, VoiceOver will only read out the date the picture was taken. Hope this helps.

There are various apps like Photo Voice which let you attach an audio label to a photo, but basically they convert the picture into a small video file which includes your spoken label, but I never found them intuitive to use. If you allow the camera app to use your location it will at least tell you the place where the pictures were taken which helps some. You can, of course, use iDentifi to import a picture and get a description which often is quite good, but of course that is slow and not something to do if you want to show somebody a particular picture. Also, in iOS 10 iOS tries to provide a brief description where possible, I have pictures of my dog which are identified as "Yellow Lab" although my wife took a short video of him playing in a pond and Voiceover says it's a bear. In short, there is no really good solution unless you want to put the pictures onto a PC, group them in descriptive folders and then re-upload them to your iPhone as albums, but you would have to use iTunes for this and I am not sure how accessible this is currently. Another option is to get sighted help and make albums with descriptive names and then to put the pictures in your camera roll into these albums which still doesn't label the individual pictures, but it at least groups them better. Renaming pictures is just not possible natively in iOS.

Anyway, I would like to put certain photos in to certain folders. Are there any accessible Apps out there, that would let me do this. I don't mind paying a small fee for 1, as long as it is quite accessible. Also, is there a way to label my photos? I am adding more, and more photos to my Iphone, and I never expected this to happen. Of course, people send them to me, or take them for me. But I want to label them, because I am tired of having to ask people what certain photos are, repeatedly. It's annoying! Quite a while back, someone on this list told me about an App called, documents, or something like that. You were supposed to be able to do different things with it. Which included making folders, and labeling photos. But I don't know how it works. Any help would be appreciated.
