WolframAlpha for iOS Can Now Process Images

WolframAlpha, a knowledge and computation engine used by Siri, has been updated with access to image-processing functionality via in-app purchase, reports The Verge.

The $0.99 in-app purchase called "Extension" can analyze a photo's EXIF data, add filters, perform edge detection (seen below), perform color processing, and more. Once you purchase the extension for the app, you can either use images from your Camera Roll or take pictures from inside the app itself. It can even perform rudimentary text extraction (OCR) on images you upload.

What's New In This Version:
- Access to premium image-processing functionality with an in-app purchase of the new Image Input extension
- E-commerce links from consumer product queries
- Upgrades to weather output
- User interface improvements


You can purchase WolframAlpha from the App Store for $2.99.
