With the exception of the Dictionary tool and Picture Dictionary tool, all of the Understand tools allow the option to change how you select content on the document. This is done by toggling on/off Area Selection.

With Area Selection turned on , you can click and drag a box over the content on your document to select it, then use your desired Understand tool.

If turned off , you can only select embedded text in your document.

Further options are available at the bottom-left of each Understand tool window while using.

You can have the tool's response read aloud, translate it into another language, or convert into into a text comment. You can also copy the response to your device's clipboard for pasting later.
