var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

// Set the language to Tamil for OCR processing
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Tamil;

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

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

    // Display the recognized text (for example purpose)
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}
// Ensure IronOCR.Languages.Tamil package is installed
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

// Set the language to Tamil for OCR processing
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Tamil;

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

' Set the language to Tamil for OCR processing
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Tamil

Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Tamil.png")
	' Perform OCR on the input image

  • The IronTesseract class is used to initialize and set up the OCR engine.
  • The Ocr.Language property specifies the language pack to use for OCR.
  • The OcrInput class is used with the path to the image file containing Tamil text.
  • The Ocr.Read() method processes the image and extracts the text.
  • Finally, the recognized text is stored in AllText and can be utilized as needed.
