How to Use System Drawing Images for OCR Processing in C#

In this tutorial, we delve into using Iron OCR to extract text from images with System.Drawing in C#. Starting with setting up Iron OCR and the necessary namespaces, we guide you through initializing the Tesseract object to read a TIFF image file. By converting this file into a bitmap object, we create an OCR image input instance, allowing Iron OCR to process and extract text from the image. The tutorial showcases different methods to handle images, including using Image.FromFile and AnyBitmap from IronSoftware.Drawing, demonstrating the flexibility of Iron OCR in processing images loaded through various techniques. Additionally, the video explains how to perform OCR on specific areas of an image by defining a scan region using coordinates and dimensions. By loading this region into an OCR image input method, we extract and print the text to the console. The tutorial concludes with running the project to explore the console output, providing practical insights into extracting text from System.Drawing objects using Iron OCR in C#.
