        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Greek.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR and get the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract all recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

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