An iOS framework wrapping the Tesseract OCR engine (with Leptonica and image libraries) for use in Objective-C or Swift apps on iOS 9.0+. It bundles precompiled libraries with bitcode support and is distributed via CocoaPods and Carthage.

Use cases

• recognize text in images inside an iOS app
• scan receipts or documents with the camera and extract text
• add OCR to an Objective-C or Swift project
• read text from photos offline on iPhone or iPad
• extract strings from screenshots programmatically

When to choose

• you need on-device OCR in an iOS app without server calls
• you want a precompiled Tesseract build for armv7s/arm64 with bitcode
• your project supports iOS 9+ and uses CocoaPods or Carthage

When to avoid

• you need macOS support without a separate fork
• you need the latest Tesseract features or accuracy improvements, since it bundles Tesseract 3.03-rc1
• you need actively maintained software with frequent updates
• you target platforms other than iOS
