Hi guys, has anyone been able to use the point and speak feature in iOS 17 develop a beta one? I was somewhat able to use it with my washing machine, but not with other appliances, such as my air-conditioning remote or my microwave.

What is this feature available on?
Is it available for iphone 12?
It's exclusive to devices…
It's exclusive to devices with a LiDAR Scanner, anything with "Pro" in the name.
I have tried it.
Here’s how it works. When you open magnifier and select the point and speak option, you point your phone at text. You can either tell voiceover if you want it to read below or above your finger. When you point the phone at text, voiceover will detect your hand and then read where ever you place your finger. I used it on my Mac screen once and it seemed like I was using explore by touch on the mac... lol
Question about using above or below the finger
Hi
So you mentioned that there is a setting in to use the point and speak below or above the finger.
Which setting did you find best?
Above the finger or below the finger?
I heard from a YouTube video that it doesn't work yet.
Sorry, I can't give you anything better than that as I'm not beta testing.
