As long as that version of the SDK has text recognition still. When the text reco feature is removed, your app using the feature will not be compatible with that version of the SDK.

May I still use this text recognition function in my app in the future if I already built it with the current version?

Hello all,

TextRecognition is deprecated in Vuforia 6.5 (the version integrated with Unity 2017.2). The game objects for this feature cannot be pulled in through our game object menu, but the scripts that enable these features can still be added via components on Unity objects. The APIs are also still available within C# scripts.

Please be aware that due to its deprecation, this feature will be fully removed in the future.

Thanks,

-Vuforia Support

With unity 2017.2 I also cannot access the text recognition feature.

The vuforia text recognition documentation states: "Notice: This feature is deprecated begining with Vuforia 7.0".

Is there a non-deprecated way to enable text recognition in unity for Vuforia7.0? 

The only solution I could find so far is: revert to an older unity + vuforia or use another framework instead of vuforia.

I noticed in the v6.5.x patch notes that it was deprecated, but has it been replaced by something else?

 

I'm using Unity 2017.2, which has Vuforia integrated, and I downloaded the Sample package, but it looks like it was removed from that as well

What should I do if I require text recognition for my project? What's the workaround?

Thanks.

I am also interested in the agenda for Vuforia's Text Recognition abilities, as I plan on using them in my project.

Everything else already has been said.
