MLKitTextRecognitionCommon Framework Reference

  • MLKTextElement represents a word or space-separated text segment recognized within an image.

  • It provides access to the text content, its bounding rectangle (frame), and recognized languages.

  • Corner points of the element's location in the image are also available, along with a string representation of the recognized text.

  • Direct initialization of MLKTextElement is not allowed; it's obtained through text recognition results.
