textify 0.0.6

This package allows you to convert digital images into text.

Textify

Textify is a Flutter package designed to extract text from clean digital images with standard fonts. It is 100% cross-platform, utilizing native Dart and Flutter code, and works offline without any package dependencies.

Features

• Extracts text from clean digital images
• Supports standard fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, and Courier
• Fully cross-platform
• Pure Dart and Flutter implementation
• Offline functionality
• No external package dependencies

Why Textify?

Textify addresses common limitations of existing OCR (Optical Character Recognition) solutions:

1. Lightweight: Most OCR libraries are heavy and often rely on external system dependencies or remote cloud services, complicating deployment and increasing costs.

2. Simplified Setup: Popular solutions like Tesseract require complex build configurations, including C/C++ compilation, which can be difficult to manage across platforms.

3. Web Compatibility: Many OCR solutions do not support Flutter web clients, limiting their cross-platform usability.

Textify overcomes these issues with a lightweight, pure Dart implementation that works seamlessly across all Flutter platforms, including web, without external dependencies.

Limitations and Requirements

While Textify offers significant advantages, it's essential to understand its limitations:

• Optimized for clean digital images with standard fonts.
• May struggle with complex layouts or handwritten text.
• For advanced OCR needs, consider other solutions.

Requirements for Optimal Performance

• Clean, computer-generated documents
• Minimal background noise (e.g., no watermarks)
• High contrast between text and background
• No handwritten or italic text
• Isolated characters (not touching other artifacts)

Getting Started

To install Textify, add it to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies: textify: ^latest_version

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use Textify:

import 'dart:ui' as ui;
import 'package:textify/textify.dart';

void main() async {
  // Instentiate Textify
  final Textify textify = await Textify().init();

  // Use your image as source
  final ui.image imageSource = < standard images >

  final String text = await textify.getTextFromImage(image: imageSource);

  print(text);
}
