Usage
-----

``` php

$client = new Client('YOUR DEV TOKEN');
$response = $client->recognize('path/to/image.jpg');

print_r($response);

The recognize method will return an array of TextBlock objects, each with an array of text recognition options. Each Text object contains the recognized text and a confidence score of 0-100. Each TextBlock contains the X and Y coordinates where the text was found and the width and height of the text block in pixels., _(*5)

Array
(
    [0] => Estey\EvernoteOCR\TextBlock Object
        (
            [x] => 51
            [y] => 82
            [width] => 307
            [height] => 35
            [options] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Estey\EvernoteOCR\Text Object
                        (
                            [text] => SEPTEMBER
                            [confidence] => 91
                        )

                )

        )

    [1] => Estey\EvernoteOCR\TextBlock Object
        (
            [x] => 370
            [y] => 87
            [width] => 128
            [height] => 30
            [options] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Estey\EvernoteOCR\Text Object
                        (
                            [text] => 2014
                            [confidence] => 77
                        )

                    [1] => Estey\EvernoteOCR\Text Object
                        (
                            [text] => 201 a
                            [confidence] => 35
                        )

                )

        )

Laravel Filesystem Adapter

If you're using Laravel, there is a service provider available. Open app/config/app.php, and add the service provider to the providers array. You'll also need to add your Evernote Dev Token to your .env file with the key set to EVERNOTE_DEV_TOKEN., _(*6)

'Estey\EvernoteOCR\Providers\Illuminate\EvernoteOCRServiceProvider'

Use it like so:, _(*7)

``` php, _(*8)

$client = App::make('evernote_ocr', ['path/to/image.jpg']); $response = $client->recognize();, _(*9)

print_r($response);, _(*10)


Flysystem Adapter
-----------------

The Evernote OCR package comes with a built in adapter to support the [Flysystem](http://flysystem.thephpleague.com) filesystem library.

``` php

use Estey\EvernoteOCR\Client;
use Estey\EvernoteOCR\FileAdapters\FlysystemFileAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local as Adapter;

$filesystem = new Filesystem(
    new Adapter(__DIR__ . '/path/to/root/')
);

$client = new Client('YOUR DEV TOKEN');
$file = new FlysystemFileAdapter('path/to/image.jpg', $filesystem);
$response = $client->recognize($file);

print_r($response);
