using IronOcr;

// Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class.
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

// Set the OCR language to Arabic.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Arabic;

// Use a using statement to ensure that resources are disposed of correctly.
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Arabic.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input image or document.
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

    // Retrieve all recognized text from the document.
    var AllText = Result.Text;

    // Optionally, you can output the text to the console or use it otherwise.
    // Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}

using IronOcr;

// Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class.

// Use a using statement to ensure that resources are disposed of correctly.
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Arabic.png"))
