Ente supports on-device machine learning. This allows you to use the latest
|
||||
advances in AI in a privacy preserving manner.

- You can search for your photos by the **faces** of the people in them. Ente
|

- You can search for your photos by the **Faces** of the people in them. Ente
|
||||
will show you all the faces in a photo, and will also try to group similar
|
||||
faces together to create clusters of people so that you can give them names,
|
||||
and quickly find all photos with a given person in them.
|
||||
|
||||
- You can search for your photos by typing natural language descriptions of
|
||||
them. For example, you can search for "night", "by the seaside", or "the red
|
||||
motorcycle next to a fountain". Within the app, this ability is sometimes
|
||||
referred to as **magic search**.

motorcycle next to a fountain". Within the app, this ability is referred to
|
||||
as **Magic search**.
|
||||
|
||||
- We will build on this foundation to add more forms of advanced search.
|
||||
You can enable face recognition and magic search in the app's preferences on
|
||||
either the mobile app or the desktop app.
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable face and magic search in the app's preferences on either the
|
||||
mobile app or the desktop app.
|
||||
On mobile, this is available under `General > Advanced > Machine learning`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a big library, we recommend enabling this on the desktop app first,
|
||||
because it can index your existing photos faster (The app needs to download your
|
||||
originals to index them which can happen faster over WiFi, and indexing is also
|
||||
faster on your computer as compared to your mobile device).
|
||||
On desktop, this is available under `Preferences > Machine learning`.
|
||||
|
||||
Once your existing photos have been indexed, then you can use either. The mobile
|
||||
app is fast enough to easily and seamlessly index the new photos that you take.

The indexes are synced across all your devices automatically using the same

end-to-end encypted security that we use for syncing your photos.

automatically generated face groupings, that is only supported by the mobile
|

app.
