OCR with Barcode & QR Reading

VB C#

using IronOcr;
using System;

var ocrTesseract = new IronTesseract();
ocrTesseract.Configuration.ReadBarCodes = true;
using var ocrInput = new OcrInput();
ocrInput.LoadImage(@"images\imageWithBarcode.png");
var ocrResult = ocrTesseract.Read(ocrInput);
foreach (var barcode in ocrResult.Barcodes)
{
    Console.WriteLine(barcode.Value);
}

Imports IronOcr
Imports System

Private ocrTesseract = New IronTesseract()
ocrTesseract.Configuration.ReadBarCodes = True
Dim ocrInput As New OcrInput()
ocrInput.LoadImage("images\imageWithBarcode.png")
Dim ocrResult = ocrTesseract.Read(ocrInput)
For Each barcode In ocrResult.Barcodes
	Console.WriteLine(barcode.Value)
Next barcode

OCR with Barcode & QR Reading

The Iron Tesseract OcrResult object can read barcodes and QR Codes during OCR if you set Ocr.Configuration.ReadBarCodes = true;.

This is just one of Iron Software's valuable additions to the vanilla/free Tesseract functionality.

How to do OCR on your QR Code

Install the C# library to perform OCR with QR Code
Instantiate an IronTesseract object and set the ReadBarCodes field to true.
Import the targeted image or PDF containing the QR Code.
Perform OCR on the image or PDF using the Read method.
View all QR Code values in the Barcodes property.

This process effectively allows you to extract and utilize information encoded in QR Codes using the IronOcr library in a C# application.
