Code Example

This C# code example reads Han Simplified Alphabet text from an image or PDF document.

// Reference the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han;

        // Using a 'using' statement for resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Han.png"))
        {
            // Process the image to extract text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Retrieve and display the extracted text
            string AllText = Result.Text;
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Reference the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han;

        // Using a 'using' statement for resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Han.png"))
        {
            // Process the image to extract text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Retrieve and display the extracted text

Explanation

  • We start by referencing the IronOcr library to use its OCR capabilities.
  • An instance of IronTesseract is created to process the image/PDF documents.
  • The language for the OCR process is set to Han using Ocr.Language.
  • An image is loaded using OcrInput and processed by calling Ocr.Read().
  • The result of the OCR process is stored in Result.Text, which contains the extracted text from the document.
  • We finally print the text to the console.

Ensure to have the proper using directives and manage resources efficiently with using statements, especially when dealing with unmanaged resources like file streams.
