`typescript
startRecognizer(config: RecognizerConfig, callback: FoundRecognizerCallback) => Promise
`

Starts the plugin with the passed configuration.
Handles the permission checks internally.

The recognizer is not a one time event, it keeps firing the data to you until the user leaves the screen
or you cancel the flow.

If permission is denied, then a custom exception will be thrown from the client
