Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

// Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

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

// Use a using block to manage the OcrInput resource
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Spanish.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input image
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

    // Extract all text from the OCR result
    var AllText = Result.Text;

    // The 'AllText' variable now contains the Spanish text
}
// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

// Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

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

// Use a using block to manage the OcrInput resource
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Spanish.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input image
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

    // Extract all text from the OCR result
    var AllText = Result.Text;

    // The 'AllText' variable now contains the Spanish text
}
' Import the IronOcr namespace
Imports IronOcr

' Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class
Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()

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

' Use a using block to manage the OcrInput resource
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Spanish.png")
	' Perform OCR on the input image
	Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)

	' Extract all text from the OCR result
	Dim AllText = Result.Text

	' The 'AllText' variable now contains the Spanish text
End Using
