I've lost track, do any of the other AI description apps have an explore by touch feature to show where things are on the screen yet. This would need to be an app that installs from the app store etc.
Thanks Paige. Seeing AI has that feature, but for the last few days, the photo analysis has been putting up a, sorry it didn't work, message up almost all the time. I've tried everything, except deleting and reinstalling the app, including a different network. It's never done this for so long before and I'm thinking I need to work out a backup method for my work because Seeing AI can't describe any new photos, or if I edit any of the ones I've already had described.
That explore by touch is kind of a final check because AI can get things wrong in the positions of pictures. But being able to use the share sheet to get a description after each change is really important too.
I decided to try the explore by touch on Seeing AI for one of the photos it is not analyzing, and it worked. I have know idea what features are sent off to a server and which are done locally. I can't get a description of a picture, but I can explore it on the screen. If this works with all photos, I can still use it for my work. It just adds new layers to the tediousness.

Last I checked Seeing AI can do this but that was awhile ago so things could have changed
Yes

Very Strange...
