FAQPage Schema
How do I implement OCR text recognition in an iOS app?

To implement OCR text recognition in an iOS app, use the Vision framework to perform text recognition on images or documents. This skill provides integration patterns for both modern Swift-native Vision APIs and legacy VNRequest approaches.

Does this computer vision skill support live camera scanning on iOS?

Yes, live camera scanning is supported through VisionKit integration. Specifically, it utilizes the DataScannerViewController to provide real-time text and barcode scanning capabilities directly within your iOS application.

Can I use Core ML models for custom inference with the Vision framework?

Yes, you can run custom model inference using Core ML. The skill demonstrates how to execute custom models using VNCoreMLRequest, allowing you to extend standard computer vision capabilities with your own trained models.

What is the minimum iOS version required for the modern Vision API?

The modern Swift-native Vision API requires iOS 18 or higher. For apps targeting older iOS versions, the skill also provides legacy VNRequest patterns to maintain backward compatibility.

What's the best way to add document scanning and face detection to my iOS application?

The best way to add document scanning and face detection is using Apple's native Vision framework. This skill provides a comprehensive suite covering both tasks, streamlining implementation without requiring external libraries.
