How to use Multiple Languages with Tesseract

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on using Tesseract in conjunction with IronOCR to recognize text in multiple languages from PDFs and images. First, ensure that IronOCR and the necessary language packs are installed in your project using the NuGet package manager. Begin by importing the required namespaces and setting up IronOCR with a valid license key to unlock its full capabilities. Instantiate the IronTesseract object to perform optical character recognition, initially using English as the default language. To add support for additional languages, such as Russian, utilize the method to add a secondary language.

Before becoming a Software Engineer, Kannapat completed a Environmental Resources PhD from Hokkaido University in Japan. While pursuing his degree, Kannapat also became a member of the Vehicle Robotics Laboratory, which is part of the Department of Bioproduction Engineering. In 2022, he leveraged his C# skills to join Iron Software's engineering team, where he focuses on IronPDF. Kannapat values his job because he learns directly from the developer who writes most of the code used in IronPDF. In addition to peer learning, Kannapat enjoys the social aspect of working at Iron Software. When he's not writing code or documentation, Kannapat can usually be found gaming on his PS5 or rewatching The Last of Us.
