# visionkit-rs
Safe Rust bindings for Apple's `VisionKit.framework` on macOS.
> **Status:** v0.2.1 covers the full public macOS `ImageAnalysisOverlayView` surface — including delegates, menu tags, selection metadata, tracking views, fonts, and subject analysis — alongside `ImageAnalyzer`, `ImageAnalysis`, and explicit availability metadata for the iOS-only document-camera / Data Scanner / recognized-item areas.
## Quick start
```rust,no_run
use visionkit::prelude::*;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
if !ImageAnalyzer::is_supported() {
println!("ImageAnalyzer is not supported on this Mac");
return Ok(());
}
let analyzer = ImageAnalyzer::new()?;
let configuration = ImageAnalyzerConfiguration::new(ImageAnalysisTypes::TEXT)
.with_locales(["en-US"]);
let analysis = analyzer.analyze_image_at_path(
"examples/assets/live_text.png",
ImageOrientation::Up,
&configuration,
)?;
let interaction = LiveTextInteraction::new()?;
interaction.track_image_at_path("examples/assets/live_text.png")?;
interaction.set_analysis(&analysis)?;
println!("transcript: {}", analysis.transcript()?);
println!("live text overlay text: {}", interaction.text()?);
Ok(())
}
```
## Highlights
- `ImageAnalyzer::is_supported` and `supported_text_recognition_languages`
- `ImageAnalyzerConfiguration`, `ImageAnalysisTypes`, and `ImageOrientation`
- File-path based analysis through every public macOS analyzer overload: URL, `NSImage`, `CGImage`, `CIImage`, and `CVPixelBuffer`
- `ImageAnalysis::transcript` and `has_results`
- full `LiveTextInteraction` coverage for macOS `ImageAnalysisOverlayView`, including delegates, menu tags, selection metadata, tracking/content views, fonts, and subject analysis
- `VNDocumentCameraViewController`, `DataScannerViewController`, `RecognizedText`, `Barcode`, and `RecognizedItem` availability metadata on macOS
## Availability
- `ImageAnalyzer`, `ImageAnalysis`, and `LiveTextInteraction` are available on macOS 13+.
- `LiveTextInteraction::text`, `selected_text`, `selected_attributed_text`, `selected_ranges`, and `LiveTextMenuTag` require macOS 14+ because Apple introduced those overlay accessors after macOS 13.
- `VNDocumentCameraViewController`, `DataScannerViewController`, `RecognizedText`, `Barcode`, and `RecognizedItem` are iOS-only Apple APIs. On macOS, this crate exposes them as structured availability metadata instead of pretending they exist.
