Overview
This project is an iOS app that runs an HTTP OCR server on an iPhone, using Apple’s Vision framework to recognize text in uploaded images. It lets computers and other devices on the same network send images to the phone instead of relying on a separate cloud OCR service. Users can test recognition in a browser or send files to the upload API. Responses include recognized text, image dimensions, and text-region coordinates for use in other applications.
Key features
- Runs an HTTP OCR server on an iPhone using Apple Vision.
