Live Text is no longer exclusive to the Mac M1, but what is it?
The latest macOS 12 Monterey beta made Live Text available for Macs running on Intel hardware, as well as Apple's own M1 chip. The latest version of macOS from Apple brings more improvements to the Mac, like SharePlay and shortcuts to further improve your workflow. It builds on last year's redesign with macOS 11 Big Sur, but it's also looking to improve the way you use and share your content, which is where Live Text comes in. While it was widely believed that some features would only be possible on a Mac M1, Apple has apparently answered the prayers of some Intel users and made Live Text accessible to everyone.

Review: Still Life on Intel Macs

Apple is still determined to release new Macs with Intel chips, at least for the next few years. While the PowerPC transition in 2005 lasted less than a year, this time it looks like it will be much longer, especially with the pandemic postponement plans in the industry, including Apple. It was surprising to see features exclusive to Mac M1s just a year after the transition was confirmed, but with fresh rumors that a MacBook Pro M1X would be delayed until October of this year, users are curious to see what's new. unique features of Monterey that we are not aware of.
