Code Example

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

// Import the IronOCR namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Initialize IronTesseract, an OCR object
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

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

        // Create an OCR input for the Russian image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Russian.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

            // Output the recognized text
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Import the IronOCR namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Initialize IronTesseract, an OCR object
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

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

        // Create an OCR input for the Russian image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Russian.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

            // Output the recognized text

  • The above code imports the necessary IronOCR library and initializes IronTesseract, a class used to perform OCR tasks.
  • It sets the language for OCR to Russian using Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Russian.
  • It then opens the specified image file Russian.png using the OcrInput class.
  • The Read method of the Ocr object is used to process the image and recognize text,
  • Finally, it extracts the recognized text from the Result.Text and outputs it.
