Manually

Clone or download this repository, and copy over the ComputerVisionOCR.swift file to your project.

Usage

Initialization

ComputerVisionOCR is a singleton and you need to configure it before you use it. To do that, please set your API Key for Azure Computer Vision and the URL to the server you are set to connect to (e.g. https://westeurope.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/vision/v1.0) , like so:

ComputerVisionOCR.shared.configure(
	apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
	baseUrl: "YOUR_BASE_URL")

Don't forget to include the framework first:

import Lumina

OCR

Once configured, using the framework is straight forward:

ComputerVisionOCR.shared.requestOCRString(imageData) { parseResult in
	guard let parseResult = parseResult else { fatalError("No text found!") }
	debugPrint(parseResult) // Each line is a String in the resulting array
}
