NaturalLanguage & Translation (iOS)

On-device, offline text processing for a fintech iOS app. Nothing leaves the device — safe for transaction memos, support messages, and PII. Grounded in Apple's NaturalLanguage and Translation frameworks (iOS 26 era).

• Everything here runs locally. No network, no per-call cost, works in airplane mode. Ideal for sensitive financial text.
• Not generative. For summarization, rewriting, or chat use Foundation Models via apple-on-device-ai. NaturalLanguage analyzes text; it does not author it.
• Underlying runtime: custom NLModels are Core ML models — see coreml for training/compute-unit details. Text often comes from OCR (vision-framework) or user input.
