Tutorial: Creación de una aplicación iOS que inicia el Lector inmersivo con el contenido de una foto (Swift)
El Lector inmersivo es una herramienta diseñada de forma inclusiva que implementa técnicas demostradas para mejorar la comprensión lectora.
La Read API de Visión de Azure AI detecta el contenido de texto de una imagen con los últimos modelos de reconocimiento de Microsoft y convierte el texto identificado en una secuencia de caracteres legible por máquinas.
En este tutorial, creará una aplicación iOS desde cero e integrará la Read API, así como Immersive Reader mediante su SDK. Hay disponible un ejemplo de trabajo completo de este tutorial en GitHub.
Requisitos previos
- Suscripción a Azure. Puede crear una de forma gratuita.
- MacOS y Xcode.
- Un recurso del Lector inmersivo configurado para la autenticación de Microsoft Entra. Siga estas instrucciones para realizar la configuración.
- Una suscripción al servicio Visión de Azure AI. Cree un recurso de Visión de Azure AI en Azure Portal.
Creación de un proyecto de Xcode
Cree un proyecto nuevo en Xcode.
Elija Single View App (Aplicación de vista única).
Obtención del SDK CocoaPod
La manera más sencilla de usar el SDK de Lector inmersivo es a través de CocoaPods. Para instalarlo a través de CocoaPods:
Siga la guía para instalar Cocoapods.
Ejecute
pod initen el directorio raíz del proyecto de Xcode para crear un podfile.Agregue
pod 'immersive-reader-sdk', :path => 'https://github.com/microsoft/immersive-reader-sdk/tree/master/iOS/immersive-reader-sdk'para incorporar CocoaPod al podfile. El podfile debe tener un aspecto similar al siguiente, reemplazando picture-to-immersive-reader-swift por el nombre del destino:platform :ios, '9.0' target 'picture-to-immersive-reader-swift' do use_frameworks! # Pods for picture-to-immersive-reader-swift pod 'immersive-reader-sdk', :git => 'https://github.com/microsoft/immersive-reader-sdk.git' endEn el terminal, en el directorio del proyecto de Xcode, ejecute el comando
pod installpara instalar el pod del SDK de Lector inmersivo.Agregue
import immersive_reader_sdka todos los archivos que necesitan hacer referencia al SDK.Asegúrese de abrir el proyecto abriendo el archivo
.xcworkspacey no el archivo.xcodeproj.
Adquisición de un token de autenticación de Microsoft Entra
Necesita algunos valores del paso de configuración de autenticación de Microsoft Entra en la sección de requisitos previos. Vuelva al archivo de texto que guardó de esa sesión.
TenantId => Azure subscription TenantId
ClientId => Microsoft Entra ApplicationId
ClientSecret => Microsoft Entra Application Service Principal password
Subdomain => Immersive Reader resource subdomain (resource 'Name' if the resource was created in the Azure portal, or 'CustomSubDomain' option if the resource was created with Azure CLI PowerShell. Check the Azure portal for the subdomain on the Endpoint in the resource Overview page, for example, 'https://[SUBDOMAIN].cognitiveservices.azure.com/')
En la carpeta principal del proyecto, que contiene el archivo ViewController.swift, cree un archivo de clase Swift denominado Constants.swift. Reemplace la clase por el código siguiente y agregue sus propios valores cuando proceda. Conserve este archivo como un archivo local que solo exista en el equipo y asegúrese de no confirmar este archivo en el control de código fuente porque contiene secretos que no se deben hacer públicos. Se recomienda no conservar secretos en la aplicación. En su lugar, use un servicio back-end para obtener el token; así los secretos se pueden mantener fuera de la aplicación y del dispositivo. El punto de conexión de la API de back-end debe estar protegido mediante algún tipo de autenticación (por ejemplo, OAuth) para evitar que usuarios no autorizados obtengan tokens y los utilicen en el servicio Lector inmersivo y su facturación; este trabajo está fuera del ámbito de este tutorial.
Configuración de la aplicación para que se ejecute sin un guion gráfico
Abra AppDelegate.swift y reemplace el archivo por el siguiente código.
import UIKit
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var navigationController: UINavigationController?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
// Allow the app run without a storyboard
if let window = window {
let mainViewController = PictureLaunchViewController()
navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: mainViewController)
window.rootViewController = navigationController
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
return true
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and invalidate graphics rendering callbacks. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the active state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
}
}

Compilación y ejecución de la aplicación
Seleccione como destino un simulador o un dispositivo para establecer el esquema de archivo en Xcode.
En Xcode, presione Ctrl + R o seleccione el botón de reproducción para ejecutar el proyecto. La aplicación debe iniciarse en el simulador o el dispositivo especificados.
En la aplicación, debe ver lo siguiente:
Tome o cargue una foto del texto presionando el botón Tomar foto o el botón Elegir foto de la biblioteca. A continuación, se inicia Immersive Reader y muestra el texto de la foto.
