Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

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

        // Specify the language for OCR
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Bengali;

        // Process the image and extract text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Bengali.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Get the extracted text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

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

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

        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Bengali;

Explanation

  1. Import IronOcr: We start by importing the IronOcr namespace, which contains classes and methods necessary to perform OCR operations.

  2. Create IronTesseract Instance: We create an instance of IronTesseract, which is the main class for performing OCR.

  3. Set Language: We set the OCR language to Bengali using OcrLanguage.Bengali.

  4. OcrInput: We specify the path to the image from which we want to extract text. An OcrInput object is used to load and preprocess the input file.

  5. Read and Extract Text: Using the Read method, we process the image to read the text content. The text is stored in Result.Text.

  6. Output Text: Finally, we print the extracted text to the console to verify the output.
