Text recognition

Recognise on-screen text with Apple's Vision framework, entirely on the device — no network and no screenshot upload. Prefer element lookups (clickElement) where they work: the element tree is structured, fast and exact. OCR is for text drawn into images or canvases that the element tree does not contain.

기능 개요

·Set the language and speed once with ocrConfigure; the whole task uses them
·Chinese needs iOS 14 or later, Japanese / Korean / Russian / Thai / Vietnamese need iOS 16 or later, and Vision does not support Arabic
·Coordinates come back in points, ready for client.click

ocr#

Recognise the text on screen and return it line by line in reading order.

typescript

ocr(region?: [number, number, number, number] | null): Line[] & { text: string };

type Line = {
  text: string;
  confidence: number;
  x: number; y: number; width: number; height: number;
  centerX: number; centerY: number;
};

매개변수

이름	타입	필수	기본값	설명
`region`	`[x, y, w, h] \| null`	아니오	—	Only read this area; omit it for the whole screen. A smaller area is several times faster. Written as in colour and image matching: 0–1 screen ratios when all four numbers are between 0 and 1, otherwise points.

반환값

타입	설명
`{ text, confidence, x, y, width, height, centerX, centerY }[]`	One item per line, coordinates in points. The array also carries .text: every line joined with newlines.

예외

예외	발생 조건
`WDAError`INVALID_ARGUMENT	An argument is wrong: an empty keyword, a wait that is not a number or exceeds 600, a region that is not [x, y, w, h], an old-style {}, and so on.
`WDAError`OCR_LANG_UNSUPPORTED	This device's Vision framework does not support the configured language.
`WDAError`FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE	The app on the device is too old to support text recognition.

예제

javascript

var lines = ocr([0.05, 0.12, 0.9, 0.25]);
logi(lines.text);
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
  logi(lines[i].text + ' @' + lines[i].centerX + ',' + lines[i].centerY);
}

findText#

Find a piece of text on screen and return the line that contains it.

typescript

findText(keyword: string | RegExp, timeoutSec?: number, region?: [number, number, number, number] | null, exact?: boolean): Line | null;

매개변수

이름	타입	필수	기본값	설명
`keyword`	`string \| RegExp`	예	—	The text to find (a line containing it counts), or a regular expression. Must not be an empty string.
`timeoutSec`	`number`	아니오	`0`	The longest wait, in seconds. 0 means look once; above 0 it re-captures and re-reads every 0.5 seconds until found or out of time.
`region`	`[x, y, w, h] \| null`	아니오	—	Only read this area; omit it for the whole screen. A smaller area is several times faster. Written as in colour and image matching: 0–1 screen ratios when all four numbers are between 0 and 1, otherwise points.
`exact`	`boolean`	아니오	`false`	Pass true to require the whole line to match, not just contain the keyword.

반환값

타입	설명
`{ text, confidence, x, y, width, height, centerX, centerY } \| null`	The matching line, or null.

예제

javascript

var hit = findText('Balance', 5);
if (hit) {
  logi(hit.text);
}
var price = findText(/\$\s*[\d.]+/);

clickText#

Wait for a piece of text to appear and tap it, at a slightly random spot within the line.

typescript

clickText(keyword: string | RegExp, timeoutSec?: number, region?: [number, number, number, number] | null, exact?: boolean): boolean;

매개변수

이름	타입	필수	기본값	설명
`keyword`	`string \| RegExp`	예	—	The text to find (a line containing it counts), or a regular expression. Must not be an empty string.
`timeoutSec`	`number`	아니오	`10`	The longest wait, in seconds. It re-captures and re-reads every 0.5 seconds.
`region`	`[x, y, w, h] \| null`	아니오	—	Only read this area; omit it for the whole screen. A smaller area is several times faster. Written as in colour and image matching: 0–1 screen ratios when all four numbers are between 0 and 1, otherwise points.
`exact`	`boolean`	아니오	`false`	Pass true to require the whole line to match, not just contain the keyword.

반환값

타입	설명
`boolean`	True when tapped, false when the text never appeared.

`WDAError`FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE	The app on the device is too old to support text recognition.

주의사항

By default the task log records whether the text was tapped or not found; turn it off with setClickLog(false).

예제

javascript

clickText('Claim now', 8);

ocrConfigure#

Set this task's recognition languages and speed, validating the languages up front. Optional — the default is Simplified Chinese plus English.

typescript

ocrConfigure(languages?: string[] | string, level?: "accurate" | "fast", correction?: boolean): { ok: true; languages: string[]; level: string };

매개변수

이름	타입	필수	기본값	설명
`languages`	`string[] \| string`	아니오	—	The recognition languages, for example ['zh-Hans', 'en-US'] or ['ja-JP', 'en-US']; a single language can be a plain string.
`level`	`"accurate" \| "fast"`	아니오	`"accurate"`	accurate is precise, fast is quick.
`correction`	`boolean`	아니오	`false`	Pass true to let the system correct results against its dictionary.

반환값

타입	설명
`{ ok, languages, level }`	The settings now in effect.

예외

예외	발생 조건
`WDAError`OCR_LANG_UNSUPPORTED	This device's Vision framework does not support the configured language.
`WDAError`INVALID_ARGUMENT	The languages are not an array of strings, level is not accurate / fast, or an old-style {} was passed.
`WDAError`FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE	The app on the device is too old to support text recognition.

주의사항

Its value is failing early: without it, a device that cannot read Chinese only shows the problem deep inside a loop.

예제

javascript

ocrConfigure(['zh-Hans', 'en-US'], 'accurate');

ocrCapabilities#

Which languages this device can actually recognise.

typescript

ocrCapabilities(): { engine: string; revision: number; accurate: string[]; fast: string[]; supportsChinese: boolean };

반환값

타입	설명
`{ engine, revision, accurate, fast, supportsChinese }`	accurate / fast list the language codes each mode supports.

예외

예외	발생 조건
`WDAError`FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE	The app on the device is too old to support text recognition.

javascript

logi(JSON.stringify(ocrCapabilities()));
