Hi,

I followed instructions for creating and adding new lexicon into iOS application.

My lexicon contains few words: "boja moja tvoja sunce olovka papir curica juhica". IInkSDK is configured to work with en_us and this words are in Croatian.

When I write this words with pen I don't get them recognized all the time. Sometimes they are recognized and sometimes they aren't.

After reading lexicon description I assumed that I can inject words from any language into lexicon in order to expand recognition but this just doesn't work for me. Is this possible overall?

This is my config file:

Bundle-Version: 1.0
Bundle-Name: en_US
Configuration-Script:
 AddResDir ../resources/

Name: text
Type: Text
Configuration-Script:
 AddResource en_US/en_US-ak-cur.res
 AddResource en_US/en_US-lk-text.res
 EnableAlienCharacters
 SetTextListSize 1
 SetWordListSize 5
 SetCharListSize 1

Name: textwithMyResource
Type: Text
Configuration-Script:
 AddResource en_US/en_US-ak-cur.res
 AddResource en_US/en_US-lk-text.res
 AddResource en_US/lexicon.res
 EnableAlienCharacters
 SetTextListSize 1
 SetWordListSize 5
 SetCharListSize 1 

  Here is my engine initialization:

lazy var engine: IINKEngine? = {
        // Check that the MyScript certificate is present

        guard myCertificate.length > 0 else {
            self.engineErrorMessage = "Please replace the content of MyCertificate.c with the certificate you received from the developer portal"
            return nil
        }

        // Create the iink runtime environment
        let data = Data(bytes: myCertificate.bytes, count: myCertificate.length)
        guard let engine = IINKEngine(certificate: data) else {
            self.engineErrorMessage = "Invalid certificate"
            return nil
        }

        // Configure the iink runtime environment
        let configurationPath = Bundle.main.bundlePath.appending("/recognition-assets/conf")
        print(FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: configurationPath))
        do {
            // Tells the engine where to load the recognition assets from.
            try engine.configuration.setStringArray([configurationPath], forKey:"configuration-manager.search-path")
        } catch {
            print("Should not happen, please check your resources assets : " + error.localizedDescription)
            return nil
        }

        // Set the temporary directory
        do {
            try engine.configuration.setString(NSTemporaryDirectory(), forKey: "content-package.temp-folder")
        } catch {
            print("Failed to set temporary folder: " + error.localizedDescription)
            return nil
        }
        return engine
    }()

 And later after initialization of EditViewController I set configuration for new lexicon:

editorViewController.engine = engine
            try! editorViewController.editor.configuration.setString("textwithMyResource", forKey: "text.configuration.name");

 Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi Oliver,

Previous implementation contained all words in same line. Today I created new lexicon.lex and compiled it using MyScript web tool but again same result. 

I wasn't able to attach file inside this response. You can find compiled file here and original .txt file here.

Beside using lexicon from app bundle, I tried to compile it on-device but I'm not sure how to reference it after storing it to disk.

Thing that I don't understand when using on-device compile are paths. I understand that when using lexicon from bundle then inside .conf file I can reference it like following:

AddResource MyResources/lexicon.res

Docs says following for on-device compilation and storing

// 3. Save it to the disc 

[assetsBuilder store:@"custom-grammar.res" error:nil];

Only way to have this stored without "io error" is to create file path like following:

let lexPath = NSTemporaryDirectory().appending("lexicon2.res")
            try assetsBuilder?.store(lexPath)

but then I'm having problem how to reference this inside .conf file?

Thanks,

Josip

Quick update. Things started working when I use lexicon from bundle within default "text" configuration inside .conf file.

On the other hand using separate configuration (textwithMyResource) still doesn't work. After adding config to editor makes no change on recognition

try! editorViewController.editor.configuration.setString("textwithMyResource", forKey: "text.configuration.name");

I'm looking forward if we can solve this on-device issue too.

Thanks,

Josip

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for your answers but unfortunately I still have two problems.

First thing that I noticed is that when I use on device resources (the one that I created using online tool). 

Then new lexicon only works with part type "Text" but I want it to work with "Text Document".

try uPackage.createPart("Text") // I want "Text Document"

Inside docs I see that only possible values for Type inside config are following: "Possible values for the Type key are: Text, Math, Shape and Analyzer. They correspond to the types of content that the core MyScript technology is able to recognize.". Do you know why I don't get lexicon work with Text Document type? This is my configuration file:

Name: text2
Type: Text
Configuration-Script:
 AddResource en_US/en_US-ak-cur.res
 AddResource en_US/en_US-lk-text.res
 AddResource en_US/lexicon.res
 EnableAlienCharacters
 SetTextListSize 1
 SetWordListSize 5
 SetCharListSize 1

Second problem is related to on device created lexicon. Only way to save newly created resource is to provide full path on disk such as: 

let lexPath = NSTemporaryDirectory().appending("lexicon2.res")
try assetsBuilder?.store(lexPath)

 But then I don't know how to reference this inside .config file? I can't write absolute paths there neither I can write path to Temp / Documents directory.

Thanks,

Josip
