In this example, we utilize the IronTesseract class from the IronOCR library to perform OCR on an image containing text written in the Irish language. The OcrInput object is used to load the image, and the Ocr.Read method processes the image to extract text. The resulting text is then stored in the AllText variable and printed to the console.
