AI for Electricians · Photos · Module 2
What reading a photo is good for

Copying model numbers and serial numbers into a job record. Typing up an old handwritten circuit chart into a tidy list. Pulling the details off an old certificate or a previous electrician's notes. Reading a label in another language, or a maker's code you do not recognise, so you know what to search for. All of these are reading text. That is what the AI is good at.

Maya is looking at an old water heater in a dark cupboard. The label is small, faded and half behind a pipe.

She takes a photo and asks a chat AI to copy out what the label says. Ten seconds instead of five minutes with a torch and a notepad.

It works well most of the time. This lesson is about the times it does not.
