Detect Segments (Kraken)

🤖 AI Drafted (Not reviewed)

Use this when: you want on-device baseline + line regions from Kraken’s neural segmenter (blla) instead of Apple Vision — often better on archaic hands and dense layouts. The blla segmenter is built into the Kraken runtime, so this runs with no model download once the Kraken runtime is installed (Settings → AI → Local Inference). Free and local. Pair with Transcribe (Kraken) to recognise the text.

Steps, in run order

1. Files

Tool: Files — Pass through input files from workflow context

2. Detect Segments (Kraken)

Tool: Detect Regions — Finds WHERE the words are, on-device and free. Apple Vision reads the page locally to locate line and word boxes, so it does produce text — that text is a by-product of finding the boxes, not a transcription: it never replaces the page’s transcript, and no model is called. Runs before a transcriber so every box exists up front.
