Code Example

This C# code example reads Basque text from an image or PDF document.

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class BasqueOCRExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Basque
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Basque;

        // Read the text from a Basque image or PDF
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Basque.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to get the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract all text from the OCR result
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output the extracted text
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class BasqueOCRExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Basque
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Basque;

        // Read the text from a Basque image or PDF
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Basque.png"))
        {

            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output the extracted text

This code sets up an OCR engine using IronOCR specifically for the Basque language. It loads an image (or path to PDF) to perform OCR and extract all textual content, which is then printed out to the console.
