Free Swift OCR API to Recognize Images Text

Open Source Swift Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Library enables Programmers to recognize short, one-line long alphanumeric codes in iOS and OS X.

OCR technology has become increasingly popular in recent years because of its ability to convert images with text into searchable and editable documents. The OCR technology is extensively used in many cutting-edge industries such as banking, healthcare, and retail, where digitization and automation are becoming more dominant. SwiftOCR is an open-source optical character recognition (OCR) library that was created specifically for iOS & OS X apps. It is written in the Swift programming language and is designed to recognize text in images and convert it into editable text. This library has gained popularity among developers because of its speed and accuracy, making it an essential tool for those who want to implement OCR technology in their applications.

SwiftOCR library is very easy to use and comes with a simple API that makes it easy for developers to integrate it into their apps. The library provides a range of customization options, allowing developers to fine-tune the OCR process to meet their specific requirements. The library performs operations very accurately and is trained on a large dataset of images, which allows it to recognize text in a wide variety of fonts, sizes, and styles. This means that even if the text in the image is distorted or skewed, SwiftOCR can still recognize it accurately. In conclusion, SwiftOCR is a powerful and versatile OCR library that is ideal for use in iOS apps. Its speed, accuracy, and ease of use make it an essential tool for developers who want to provide their users with the best possible OCR experience.
