OCR on image - iOS

Is it possible to perform OCR on image (for example, from assets) instead of live video with Anyline, microblink or other SDKs?

Tesseract is not an option due to my limited time.

I've tested it but the results are very inappropriate. I know that it can be improved with OpenCv or something but I have to keep a deadline.

EDIT:

This is an example of what the image looks like when it arrives to the OCR SDK.this

Solution

  • I am not sure for the others, but you can use microblink SDK for reading from a single image. It is documented here.

    Reading from a video stream will give much better results, but it all depends on what you are trying to do exactly. What are you trying to read?

    For reading barcodes or MRZ from i.e. identity documents, it works pretty well. For raw text OCR, not quite as good but it is not really intended for that anyway.
