MLKitTextRecognitionCommon Framework Reference

  • MLKTextElement represents a recognized text element, like a word, within an image.

  • Each element includes its text content, bounding box (frame), and corner points' location within the image.

  • It may contain information about recognized languages associated with the element.

  • Direct instantiation of MLKTextElement is unavailable; it's obtained through other ML Kit APIs.

MLKTextElement


@interface MLKTextElement : NSObject

A text element recognized in an image. A text element is a space-separated segment in a text line (for example, a word in most Latin-script languages).

  • String representation of the text element that was recognized.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *_Nonnull text;

  • The rectangle that contains the text element relative to the image in the default coordinate space.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) CGRect frame;

  • An array of recognized languages in the text element. If no languages were recognized, the array is empty.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) NSArray<MLKTextRecognizedLanguage *> *_Nonnull recognizedLanguages;

  • The four corner points of the text element in clockwise order starting with the top left point relative to the image in the default coordinate space. The NSValue objects are CGPoints.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly) NSArray<NSValue *> *_Nonnull cornerPoints;

  • Unavailable.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    - (nonnull instancetype)init;
