Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

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

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

// Load the image or PDF from which text needs to be extracted
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Estonian.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR to read text from the specified input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

    // Extract all the recognized text from the OCR result
    var AllText = Result.Text;
}
// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

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

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

// Load the image or PDF from which text needs to be extracted
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Estonian.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR to read text from the specified input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

Explanation of the Code:

  • IronTesseract: This is a primary class provided by IronOCR to perform OCR operations.
  • Ocr.Language: By setting this property, we define which language should be used during OCR. Here, it is set to Estonian.
  • OcrInput: This is used to specify the image or PDF document that we want to read from. It takes a file path as an input.
  • Ocr.Read(Input): This method processes the specified input and performs OCR on it.
  • Result.Text: This property contains all the text that has been successfully recognized and extracted from the image or PDF document.
