# overlayView(_:shouldBeginAt:forAnalysisType:)

Indicates whether interaction begins at the given point for the specified interaction type.

```
@MainActor func overlayView(_ overlayView: ImageAnalysisOverlayView, shouldBeginAt point: CGPoint, forAnalysisType analysisType: ImageAnalysisOverlayView.InteractionTypes) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

`overlayView`

The overlay view that implements the Live Text interface.

`point`

The point where the interface begins.

`analysisType`

The type of interaction that starts.

## Return Value

This default implementation returns `true`.

## Discussion

The overlay view invokes this method once for each type of interaction. The default
return value is `true`, which starts
the interface immediately upon presentation.
