## What it is
A deprecated Swift library for optical character recognition of Chinese second-generation ID cards on iOS, using Vision and CoreML. It has been superseded by the Evil project, which extends OCR to bank cards and other text.

## Use cases
- recognize chinese id card numbers from photos
- ocr chinese second-generation id cards in an ios app
- scan id card text using coreml and vision
- extract id card fields from camera images
- run on-device ocr for chinese identity documents

## When to choose
- building an iOS 11+ app that needs Chinese ID card OCR with CoreML
- you want a Swift-native, on-device OCR example with trained models

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repo is deprecated and archived in favor of evilgix/Evil
- you need high accuracy on low-quality images
- you need OCR on platforms other than iOS/macOS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ocr, machine-learning, image-processing, computer-vision
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing, mobile-development, machine-learning
- platform: -
