This is the second comment of yours about LiveText (this is the older one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43192141) — I found that one by complete coincidence because I'm trying to provide a Ruby API for these frameworks. However, I can't find much info on LiveText? What framework is it part of? Do you have any links or any additional info? I found a source where they say it's specifically for screen and camera capturing.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionkit/imageana... VisionKit. Swift-only (as with many new APIs) so lots of people stuck on ObjC bridges simply ignore it.
It does not provide bounding boxes but you can get text.
That's great, I'm going to give this a shot. If you have any more resources please do share. I don't mind Swift-only, because I'm writing little shims with `@_cdecl` for the bridge (don't have much experience here, but hoping this is going to work, leaning on AI for support).
