an image capture system;

a display system;

a speech recognition system;

an eyewear device comprising the image capture system, the display system, a processor, and a memory; and

programming in the memory, wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the eyewear device to perform functions, including functions to:

capture an image of a physical environment using the image capture system;

acquire text from a user input, a data input, or the speech recognition system;

generate, using the display system, visual text graphics from the acquired text;

set, using the display system, the visual text graphics at a predefined location relative to one or more items in the physical environment in response to a first gaze direction of the user;

move, using the display system, the visual text graphics in the image from the predefined location relative to the one or more items in the physical environment in response to a second gaze direction or a hand gesture of the user; and

transmit, by the eyewear device, the image of the physical environment including the set visual text graphics,

wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the eyewear device to enable manipulation of font style or color of the visual text graphics by arranging attributes of the visual text graphic as a menu of options that are displayed on the display system based on characteristics of the physical environment.
