This repository contains the official Sight API Clojure client. The Sight API is a text recognition service.

Quickstart

1. Add this project as a dependency.

Leiningen/Boot:

[sight "1.1.0"]

Clojure CLI/deps.edn:

sight {:mvn/version "1.1.0"}

Gradle

compile 'sight:sight:1.1.0

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>sight</groupId>
  <artifactId>sight</artifactId>
  <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

2. Require or import the package. For example, add it to :require:

(ns my-namespace
  ...
  (:require [sight.core :as sight]))

3. Grab an API key from the Sight dashboard.
4. Create a client, passing your API key into the constructor, and recognize text:

(let [client (sight/->Client "9736d226-07ff-4ebc-9f53-74461eed2fc3")
      files  ["/user/foos/dummy.pdf"]]
  (sight/recognize client files))

Response would look something like this

{:pages [{:error "",
          :file-index 0,
          :page-number 1,
          :number-of-pages-in-file 1,
          :recognized-text [{:top-left-y 193,
                             :bottom-right-y 243,
                             :bottom-left-x 152,
                             :top-right-x 500,
                             :bottom-left-y 248,
                             :top-right-y 188,
                             :top-left-x 151,
                             :bottom-right-x 501,
                             :confidence 0.10092532855610954,
                             :text "Dummy PDF file"}]}]}

:file-index is the index of this file in the original request's "files" array.

Word-Level Bounding Boxes

recognize has an additional signature with a third parameter, word-level-bounding-boxes. If it's true then word-level bounding boxes are returned instead of sentence-level bounding boxes. E.g.,

(sight/recognize client (list "invoice.pdf" "receipt.png") true)
