Setup Resources

This page is the guide of how to setup resources for Dynamsoft Capture Vision iOS Edition.

1. Create a DynamsoftResources folder in the finder. Under the DynamsoftResources folder create a new folder and name it based on the type of your resource file.

   For example, if you want to setup a template file ReadVIN.json, you have to create a new folder named Templates. If you want to setup a model file VINCharRecognition.data and a template file ReadVIN.json at the same time, you have to create two new folders, Models and Templates.

   Folder Name	Description
   Templates	JSON files that define how to read barcode, scan mrz, etc.
   Models	Mainly are deep learning models that improves the barcode or text line read rate.
   ConfusableChars	Resource files for text line recognition. Help distinguish easily confused characters. “0”, “O”. It helps improving the character recognition accuracy.
   Dictionaries	The resource files used to assist in result validation. The recognition result can be corrected if it matches a word in the dictionary.
   OverlappingChars	The resource files used to validate or correct recognition results by overlaying standard characters with the recognized characters.
   ParserResources	The resource files that defines the content parsing rules.

2. Put your resource file under the folder you just created.

3. Rename the DynamsoftResources folder’s extension name to .bundle and drag the DynamsoftResources.bundle into your project on Xcode. Select Create groups for the Added folders option.

4. For the template files, here is an additional step. You have to use initSettingsFromFile to load your template file. Template file name should be specified as the filePath in the initSettingsFromFile method. For the other resource files, you don’t need this step.

   • Swift

   1. [self.cvr initSettingsFromFile:@"ReadPDF417.json" error:nil];
      

   2. try! cvr.initSettingsFromFile("ReadPDF417.json")
