Code Example

This C# code example reads Latin Alphabet text from an Image or PDF document.

// Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract(); // Initialize IronTesseract instance

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

// Define the input image or PDF you want to read
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\LatinAlphabet.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR reading on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

    // Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}

// Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract(); // Initialize IronTesseract instance

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

// Define the input image or PDF you want to read
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\LatinAlphabet.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR reading on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

    // Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}

' Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
Imports IronOcr

Private Ocr = New IronTesseract() ' Initialize IronTesseract instance

' Set the OCR language to LatinAlphabet
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.LatinAlphabet

' Define the input image or PDF you want to read
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\LatinAlphabet.png")
	' Perform OCR reading on the input
	Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)

	' Extract the recognized text
	Dim AllText = Result.Text

	' Output the recognized text
	Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End Using

Explanation

IronTesseract Initialization: An instance of IronTesseract is initialized, which will handle the OCR processing.
Language Setting: The OCR language is set to LatinAlphabet, which is one of the available languages in the IronOCR package.
Input Specification: An OcrInput object is created, specifying the path to the image or PDF from which text will be extracted.
OCR Execution: The Read method of the IronTesseract instance is called to process the OcrInput. This returns a Result object containing the extracted text.
Text Extraction: The Text property of the Result object is used to access the recognized text.
Output: The recognized text is printed to the console for verification.
