Explanation:

  • IronTesseract: This is the main class used to perform OCR operations.
  • OcrLanguage.Hangul: This specifies that the OCR engine should use the Hangul language pack, which optimizes the engine for Korean text recognition.
  • OcrInput: This is a container for the images or PDFs to be processed.
  • Ocr.Read(): This method performs the OCR operation and returns a result object containing the recognized text.
