here is something a friend taught me recently.

if you cant read anything , like a box label etc, if u have a smart phone , take a picture of it and enlarge it.

1. I've done that!

Necessity is the mother of invention!!

2. Phones come in handy for things like that

I bought a new stove in April and I couldn't read the serial number to register the warranty. I took a picture of the thing that was near the back of the stove, and enlarged it, and read it just find. It was also upside down.

3. I use that feature at work on a daily basis. You can also focus and enlarge without taking a picture.

4. Dang, I just bought these card size

plastic magnifying cards to keep in my wallet. They work too.

5. I guess I'll toss my magnifying glass then.

It also fails to be detected by AI!

6. Didn't think about doing this for small scale readings. I keep a large magnifying glass in my office desk

draw, so on some of these tiny writings on bottles and such, I can read. But this is very handy (your suggestion) for when you are out shopping and happen to not have the mag. glass w/ you. Thanks for the advice!

7. The Magnifier app for iOS also has a handy flashlight

for hard-to-read labels. It's free.

8. iPhone -- you don't even have to take the picture.

Go on camera app
Put two fingers on the screen and spread them

9. Or put a magnifying app on your phone.
