What version number are you using? Here is a couple bits from earlier this year from the what's new page: 5.5.1 Mar 21
• We have updated the Seeing AI interface to make it faster to access the features you use the most. • The app is split into three tabs: • Read: Provides tools for reading, combining the functionality of the previous Short Text, Document, and Handwriting channels. • Describe: Provides rich descriptions of your surroundings, or photos already on your phone. This combines the functionality of the previous Scene and Person channels. • More: Provides access to all the other task-specific channels. • Plus, various bug fixes under the hood. 5.5 Feb 3 This release includes several bug fixes to make your experience even better. Recent improvements include: • Seeing AI can now describe videos! Select "Browse Photos" from the menu, or share an MP4 file with Seeing AI, and hear it described, scene-by-scene. • You can now recognize PDF documents with Seeing AI. • After tapping "More Info" to get a rich description of an image, you can now ask questions on the same screen. • Reduced the amount of time it takes to get a rich description, or answers to your questions. • Reduced the amount of time it takes to get a rich description. • When using a large accessibility font size, press and hold on toolbar items to see a large content preview. • On the Product channel, both barcodes and Enhanced QR codes can now be recognized at the same time. • Plus, various bug fixes under the hood.
