Sandy, thanks for mentioning this. Either I had completely forgotten about it or never knew about it. We have a lot of choices these days.

And I usually choose either scene recognition or text, you can have both. The quick recognition of the text in front of the camera, or anywhere in the vicinity, it's brilliant and it certainly will do the job for post, that is, sorting out envelopes… seen recognition is useful too, although very very prone to hallucinations, it finds my Dogs for me very well! Even if it does call my white golden doodle a polar bear! Then, I either do the scrub gesture or repeat the four finger triple Tap and it goes away, I haven't really even opened an app I've just quickly accessed what I needed and then got out again.
