If you want a photo to have text that can be read by google - that is a no. When you save your image it's just an image - jpg, png or gif for the web.

googletranslate can detect text and thus translate direct from photos

my question is if Adobe can detect text and one can edit.

You are using "photoshop" as a verb, when Photoshop  is actually the name of a very complex application. If you mean can you create editable text in a Photoshop document (psd) or tiff, then yes. If you mean something else, please clarify.

It's amazing that no one understood what you meant.

 

You mean detecting the text on a PNG file (for example) and converting it to a text layer, so that you can edit it on Photoshop, right?

I am looking for the same 🙂
