How can I get the image recognizer to read text from an image?

Help! I’m trying to create an app that will read and recognize certain words in a food label so I can easily see if the food contains something that I can’t eat. How do I get the image recognizer option to allow the label to display text from an image instead of just describing what the image is (i.e. hand holding a box).

I’ve tried that but the tags still come up as describing the picture. I want it to be able to read/recognize the words in the picture. Is there a way I can do that?
