What it is
VoiceOver is Apple's screen reader built into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Live Recognition is a VoiceOver feature that uses on-device machine learning to describe people, objects, doors, and text visible in the camera view or in a photo, spoken aloud in real time as part of the same VoiceOver interaction a user already relies on for reading app interfaces.
