SwiftOCR-8.2

The project helps to get started with swiftOCR in xcode 8.2, swift 3 from here https://github.com/garnele007/SwiftOCR

Steps to start

1. Make a new project in Xcode 8.2
2. Copy the frameworks folder from this repository, or from the original repo you find here https://github.com/garnele007/SwiftOCR.

3. Paste it in your projct folder(right where you find the .xcodeproj file).

4. Go inside the frameworks folder, you will find three files

1. SwiftOCR.xcodeproj 
2. SwiftOCR(folder)
3. SwiftOCRTests(folder)

Building the project with SwiftOCR

1. Drag and drop the SwiftOCR.xcodeproj file into your project inside the project (Make sure you do not create the workspace, this happens if you drop the file outside the project)

2. Now go to frameworks->SwiftOCR->GPUImage-master->framework, you will find GPUImage.xcodeproj there.
3. Drag and drop this file too into the project.

The tricky part, Adding frameworks

1. Go to targets->General scroll down to Embedded Binaries
2. Click +Add
3. Type GPUImage.framework, select the one that is outside the scope of you project (having iOS)

4. Click +Add again, and type Swiftocr.framework, and select again the one with iOS.

5. import SwiftOCR in before using it, and use it on and image like this (i Have used it on the image imageTest)

 self.ocrInstance.recognize(UIImage.init(named: "imageTest")!) { [weak self] recognizedString in
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                print(recognizedString)
                print(self?.ocrInstance.currentOCRRecognizedBlobs ?? "Recoginzed Blob is empty")
            }
        }
