// Include the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

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

        // Specify the language as Marathi
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Marathi;

        // Load the image or PDF document to be processed
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Marathi.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input document
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

            // Output the recognized text to console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Include the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

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

        // Specify the language as Marathi
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Marathi;

        // Load the image or PDF document to be processed
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Marathi.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input document
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

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

Explanation:

  • This code uses the IronTesseract class from the IronOCR library to perform OCR.
  • The Ocr.Language property is set to use the Marathi language pack.
  • An OcrInput is created using the path to the image or PDF containing the Marathi text.
  • The Ocr.Read() method processes the input and extracts the text.
  • The recognized text is stored in the AllText variable and is printed to the console.
