FirebaseVisionTextRecognizer

public class FirebaseVisionTextRecognizer extends Object
implements Closeable

Text recognizer for performing optical character recognition(OCR) on an input image.

A text recognizer is created via getOnDeviceTextRecognizer() or getCloudTextRecognizer(). See the code example below.

To use on-device text recognizer:

 FirebaseVisionTextRecognizer textRecognizer =
    FirebaseVision.getInstance().getOnDeviceTextRecognizer();
Or use cloud text recognizer: 
 FirebaseVisionTextRecognizer textRecognizer =
    FirebaseVision.getInstance().getCloudTextRecognizer();
To perform OCR on an image, you first need to create an instance of FirebaseVisionImage from a ByteBuffer, Bitmap, etc. See FirebaseVisionImage documentation for more details. For example, the code below creates a FirebaseVisionImage from a Bitmap. 
FirebaseVisionImage image = FirebaseVisionImage.fromBitmap(bitmap);

Then the code below can detect texts in the supplied FirebaseVisionImage.


 Task<FirebaseVisionText> task = textRecognizer.processImage(image);
 task.addOnSuccessListener(...).addOnFailureListener(...);

Constant Value: 1

Public Methods

public void close ()

Closes the text detector and release its model resources.

Throws
IOException

public int getRecognizerType ()

Gets recognizer type in terms of on-device or cloud.

public Task<FirebaseVisionText> processImage (FirebaseVisionImage image)

Detects FirebaseVisionText from a FirebaseVisionImage. The OCR is performed asynchronously. Right now, only the following input types are supported:

For best efficiency, create a FirebaseVisionImage object using one of the following ways:

All other FirebaseVisionImage factory methods will work as well, but possibly slightly slower.
