Yes, Apple has introduced a new API in the Vision framework that can help recognize and extract text from images, which could potentially be used to recognize a book's title and author from a photo. The "Recognize Documents Request" API is designed to detect and extract structured elements and important information from documents, including text. This API can recognize text in 26 languages and can group lines of text into paragraphs, detect machine-readable codes, and identify important information like email addresses, phone numbers, or URLs.
For more details, you can refer to the session Read documents using the Vision framework (00:01:29).
