Code Example

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

// Ensure you have installed the IronOCR.Languages.Thai package via NuGet.
// Import the IronOcr namespace to work with IronOCR classes.
using IronOcr; 

class ThaiOcrExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract for OCR processing
        var ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Thai for Optical Character Recognition
        ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Thai;

        // Using the 'using' statement ensures that resources are properly disposed.
        using (var input = new OcrInput(@"images\Thai.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to read the text from the input image
            var result = ocr.Read(input);

            // Retrieve and store all recognized text from the image
            string allText = result.Text;

            // Optionally, you can output the text to console or log it as needed
            System.Console.WriteLine(allText);
        }
    }
}
// Ensure you have installed the IronOCR.Languages.Thai package via NuGet.
// Import the IronOcr namespace to work with IronOCR classes.

In this example, we read Thai text from an image named Thai.png located in the images folder. Make sure to replace the file path with your actual image location. The OCR language is set to Thai using OcrLanguage.Thai to specify the Thai language package for recognition.
