Applications that are IPTC and XMP aware
All information entered via iTag is written to the IPTC and XMP headers of each jpg file.
Since data is stored in these industry standard locations, any other application aware of these standards can make use of the same data - for searching photos on disk or building online or offline photo albums
IPTC is a legacy but generally well supported standard.
XMP support is rare but increasing and supports non English languages much better.
iTag also reads the values out of the JPEG Comment field and into its "Description" container (any changes are committed back to the XMP/IPTC headers only).
