And for when a QR reader? That is, we can open the camera and scan a Qr code, or we can copy the text from an Image, and we can't click on a Qr code that we have in a photo inside the gallery. I don't understand anything

Laundry symbol
A laundry symbol, also called a care symbol, is a pictogram indicating the manufacturer's suggestions as to methods of washing, drying, dry-cleaning and ironing clothing.

The problem is the space they need to print these symbols on the label. Many times, they need to omit the wording (regardless of the language the garment is made or the country it's bought.)source

The textile industry's requirements for wash and care labeling have changed radically in the past 5 years. Especially Since most textiles are made in China.
Driving is US we are always surprised by the lack of images on road signs compared to Europe. “Work Ahead” on a yellow square instead of a triangular sign with an image of a person digging as is normal in Europe for example.
I did find photos way of taking text from an image VERY helpful
Had to set up some gear with my bizarre ridiculously long password which I kept messing up , didn't realise you could just copy and paste the actual text from a photo , amazing

I have hundreds, likely thousands of screws. Many of which are so close you cannot easily identity from each other. Such as BA and metric of similar sizes.
I'd love to be able to sort them properly and store neatly in their own labelled boxes. Ideally including recognition of zinc, brass, stainless, etc.
Assuming that all can read English.
Only 78.5% speak English at home. With Spanish and various forms of Chinese being next. Maybe more can read just enoguh to get by? I don't know.
And totally ignoring visitors.
Though why Apple give QR code recognition as standard but ignore barcodes, I really don't understand.
Though it is easy enough to use a third-party app, I've never understood their decision.
Also add in Data Matrix ECC-200 (2D matrix used across EU & UK on medicines packaging).
Not quite wherever you go.lol
It's SYMBOLS. You learn their meaning and your memory can process that, whereever you go.
You rent a car in Japan and want to turn on the hazard lights?
You want to find the toilet in a mall in Greece?
Wanna go to ha Hospital in Morocco?

What exactly is super hard in learning a shape and attach a function to it in your mind?
The toilet symbols in, for example, Saudi Arabia are very different.
And, while I have seen that hospital symbol, I would not have known it meant "hospital" rather than pharmacy, doctor, first aid kit, or whatever.
And, while they are obviously much more universal than words, when you do hit a brick wall, they can be difficult to look up.
Mind, some words seem to have become almost like symbols due to their extremly wide use - like "TAXI". (I must live in one of the few places where you often see "TACSI"!)
Now for my "want" in this area!
The ability to pick up information from food products.
Mainly the list of ingredients. Which should be allied with an app which can be set to warn of any ingredients you want or need to avoid. For example, allergens, phenylanaline, animal sourced ingredients, etc.
But also the nutritional breakdown such as vitamin B12 content, calories per serving.
A QR code could probably include enough information.

A quick look (but not try, yet) and it sounds excellent. Thank you. I have separate app from Merck for the Data Matrix ECC-200 - but it is annoying.
No, too lengthy. AppleWash more likely.
It's bare bones but that's what I like about it. It stores the scan results in a list so you can go back and see them.
The problem isn't necessarily that there are symbols instead of English. The problem is that THOSE symbols are absolutely horrible.
I mean, in what world is a triangle supposed to evoke a thought of "bleach"? How is anybody supposed to know that a box is supposed to be a dryer, but a box with three vertical lines is "drip dry"?
It's almost like they were intentionally developed to be as unintuitive as possible. Whatever graphic designer came up with them should have been told "your services are no longer needed" and somebody even slightly competent should have been hired.

I assume the manufacturers got together and "just decided" on the arbitrary symbols. It's apparently our job to figure out what they mean. As my father would often yell at me: "Look it up!".
DO NOT WRING - to me that says "don't open sweets in twist wraps while washing". Probably reasonable advice but surely not the intended message.
OK all sarcasm aside, most people if not all who do wash her hair done wash understands the terminologies do not wring.
It looks like something that would only make sense if you already knew what it was.
