OCR Bridge - ocrmac Engine

ocrmac (Apple Vision Framework) OCR engine for OCR Bridge.

Overview

This package provides an ocrmac engine that integrates with the OCR Bridge architecture. ocrmac uses Apple's Vision framework for OCR, providing excellent performance and accuracy on macOS systems.

Features

• Native macOS: Uses Apple's Vision framework (macOS 10.15+)
• LiveText Support: macOS Sonoma 14.0+ for enhanced accuracy
• Multiple Formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF
• Fast Performance: ~131-207ms per image depending on mode
• HOCR Output: Structured XML with bounding boxes

Platform Requirements

• macOS 10.15+ for Vision framework (fast/balanced/accurate modes)
• macOS Sonoma 14.0+ for LiveText framework

Installation

pip install ocrbridge-ocrmac

Note: macOS only! This package will not work on Windows or Linux.

Usage

The engine is automatically discovered by OCR Bridge via entry points.

Parameters

• languages (list[str] | None): IETF BCP 47 codes (e.g., ["en-US"], ["zh-Hans"]) (default: None = auto-detect)
• recognition_level (RecognitionLevel): fast/balanced/accurate/livetext (default: balanced)

Example

from pathlib import Path
from ocrbridge.engines.ocrmac import OcrmacEngine, OcrmacParams, RecognitionLevel

engine = OcrmacEngine()

# Process with defaults
hocr = engine.process(Path("document.pdf"))

# Process with custom parameters
params = OcrmacParams(
    languages=["en-US", "fr-FR"],
    recognition_level=RecognitionLevel.ACCURATE
)
hocr = engine.process(Path("document.pdf"), params)

# Use LiveText (macOS Sonoma 14.0+ only)
params_livetext = OcrmacParams(
    languages=["en-US"],
    recognition_level=RecognitionLevel.LIVETEXT
)
hocr = engine.process(Path("document.pdf"), params_livetext)
