Empty String

[burhanuddin353]

I have successfully integrated the project by following this https://github.com/garnele007/SwiftOCR/issues/25

I tried this image

But unfortunately getting an empty string. What could be the reason?

same here i had integrated project using above link, but when i am trying to use it on my iphone its returning empty string or improper output. Do i need to do anything else before running ?

Hmmm...

Could you please check if the app crashes if you change line 16 in SwiftOCR.swift to internal var globalNetwork = FFNN.fromFile(NSBundle(forClass: SwiftOCR.self).URLForResource("OCR-Network", withExtension: nil)!)!.

ps. Does it work if you use the SwiftOCR Debug app?

Well this was not working when using with Xcode 8.0 and Swift 3.0.

When running on Xcode 7.3 with Swift 2.3, it works absolutely fine!

I've opened a PR that ports the project to Swift 3 and also fixes the problem with the empty strings.

Still not working for swift 3.0. When you download the project from branch Swift3.0, it still needs to handle with some convertions to project work. However, after that still appears lot of deprecation warning and no good results with OCR.

Not work for the majority of the tested images. Only once returned two letters that were not related to the text in the image. Application for Mac OS, XCode 8.1, Swift 3.
